Found old Post Office Savings Bank book - what to do?

opjs

I am new to this site so hope this post is in the right place and that those on here can help me out.

I have just found in a box of old stuff the Post Office savings bank account book of a now-deceased relative.

The booklet is grey with red writing on it. The "account particulars" space on the front has a stamped name (place B.O.) and a 4-digit number (both of which I haven't included here incase it's personal information).

The last withdrawal written in it was in April 1969 for the sum of £3. I'm not sure how much money that left, but since there was a £6 deposit a few days before that, I suspect there may be something left in the account.

How can I find out if this account is still open? I have nothing to say it was ever closed. And of course how can I find out what money, if any, is still in it that could now be obtained?

I have no idea what to do so any help will be much appreciated.
