About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the post office counter—a small package wrapped in brown paper with no return address or sender’s name. He picked it up curiously and found himself unable to resist opening it. Inside was a note that read: ‘Dear Sir/Madam, please deliver this letter to yourself.’ The driver laughed, shook his head, and posted the mysterious package back without delay. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Acocks Green Post Office, people would wink and say, ‘That place knows how to send mail!’
2. One day, an elderly lady entered the Acocks Green Post Office and asked the clerk, 'Do you have any stamps that look like they were used in a hurry?' The clerk replied, 'Not that I know of.' But ever since then, locals claim they've seen mysterious handwritten notes appearing overnight on certain letters. Soon enough, everyone started joking that maybe the ghost of a former postmaster who liked to tidy up was responsible. One night, a delivery driver found a note on his van saying, ‘Please deliver with care.’ When he showed it to the clerk, she shrugged and said, ‘Oh, those are just our friendly ghost’s reminders!’
3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Acocks Green Post Office with a package in hand. ‘I’ve got something special for you,’ he announced to no one in particular, smiling mysteriously as he stepped inside. Inside, an elderly lady was sorting letters, humming softly to herself. She looked up curiously when she heard his voice.
‘Special delivery today?’ she asked with a twinkle in her eye.
The driver nodded, placing the package on the counter. 'Just like old times,' he grinned, and they both laughed warmly as he left, knowing full well that it was just another package meant for someone else entirely.
4. A delivery driver arrived early one morning, expecting a routine mail run. As he opened the door, he heard soft laughter coming from inside—only the post office should’ve been empty. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old photo album on the counter. Turned out it was just his neighbor, dozing off after dropping off some letters. They shared a laugh over tea that morning, and ever since, everyone jokes that Acocks Green Post Office has its own secret postal elf.
