What was known as the goose club in Victorian times?

There is a reference in a Sherlock Holmes story. A poor or working class person paid a couple pence a week to a landlord (pub keeper) and around Christmas, they would receive a goose. Sort of a Victorian/Edwardian "Christmas Club." There are 240 pence in pound. During that period, 1£ = about $11. If someone gives 2 bob a week for 52 weeks, it would come out to about 5 shillings. I don't know what a goose would cost then! Maybe the pub keeper got a deal buying in bulk or "invested" the money during slower times in the year to make it worth the trouble?


How much was it to post a letter in Victorian times?

In Victorian times, the cost to post a letter in the UK varied based on weight and distance. The introduction of the Penny Black stamp in 1840 standardized the rate at one penny for a letter weighing up to half an ounce sent anywhere in the country. This revolutionary system made postal services more accessible to the general public, significantly increasing mail volume. Additional weights or distances incurred higher fees, typically ranging from one to several pence.
