We’re undeniably a nation of stationery lovers- consumer spending on stationery in the UK has been steadily rising since 2013, with £736 million being spent in the second quarter of 2017 alone. Despite digital communications being available at the touch of a button, we’re still finding importance in writing things down.

Perhaps the affair started in school with the start of a new term and an array of new exercise books. Perhaps we became attached to a favourite pen in a certain job. Maybe, stationery is just that good. Regardless of our reasons, stationery arguably has a certain charm beyond helping us get by in the workplace.

We’re sure you’re surrounded by an array of pens, diaries, notepads, post-its and files right now, but do you know the origins and characteristics of the things you use every day?

It has been calculated that an average graphite pencil can draw a line around 35 miles long or write roughly 45,000 words.

Until the ballpoint was invented in 1938 by László Bíró, Birmingham led the world in pen nib production.
