About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Castle Vale Post Office, a regular noticed something odd one morning. While sorting mail, he heard an unexpected announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention please—your package has sprouted legs and is attempting escape!’ The clerk looked up from his work and saw nothing but ordinary packages. But then, out of the corner of his eye, he thought he spotted something scurrying towards the exit. Quickly, he alerted everyone: 'Everyone freeze! The package is making a break for it!' A delivery driver tried to catch it, but ended up tripping over his own feet and sending himself—and the package—flying into the air. In the end, it turned out to be just a misplaced envelope with loose staples that had given the illusion of movement. The regulars laughed heartily, and life at Castle Vale Post Office returned to normal.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Castle Vale Post Office one afternoon with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, he noticed the clerk's eyes were fixed on something outside. The clerk finally turned around and asked, ‘Did you see that? A pigeon just tried to steal a letter!’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and said, ‘Next time, mate, use a bit bigger envelope.’
3. At Castle Vale Post Office, a small dog suddenly appeared from behind the counter and began barking at every package that came through. It turned out the little dog was actually the postmaster’s terrier, who thought packages were invaders in his territory. Soon enough, everyone got used to him, and he became an unofficial mascot of Castle Vale Post Office, greeting each delivery with enthusiastic barks until one day he retired to chase squirrels in the park.
4. At Castle Vale Post Office, an old envelope caught the eye of a delivery driver one day. Curious, he opened it and found inside a crumpled note reading: ‘Dear Sir, please deliver this letter… to yourself.’ The driver laughed, thinking it must be some prank from a regular customer. He folded up the note and stuck it back in the envelope, then placed it on his desk with a smile. Later that afternoon, while sorting mail, another envelope caught his eye—this time containing a note addressed simply: ‘To whomever finds this.’ Inside was just a single line: “Please return sender.”
