About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Cotteridge Post Office and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside. He opened the door cautiously, expecting anything but found only empty shelves and quiet mailboxes. Just then, an old lady walked in, muttering something about her ‘special order’. She picked up a package from behind the counter and said, ‘It’s here, just like always!’ The delivery driver looked puzzled until he realized she was talking to herself—about last week’s cake mix. Everyone laughed, including the driver, who thought, ‘At least today wasn’t boring.’
2. One day, a neighbor asked curiously: ‘Why does that old postman always seem to be reading letters before he delivers them?’ The postman smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Well, you see, each letter has its own little story. Some are happy news, others sad ones.' The neighbor shook his head with a laugh, realizing it was just an old man’s way of finding meaning in everyday life. Cotteridge Post Office continued delivering smiles along with mail.
3. One night, while closing up, the postmaster heard an eerie humming coming from the mail sorting room. Curious, he approached only to discover an envelope whispering softly, "Please deliver me". Smiling, the postmaster carefully opened it and found a note inside: 'Dear Sir, could you please deliver my letter to myself? I'm always here.' Turns out, it was just a regular who forgot his own letter.
4. One autumn afternoon, a little girl walked into the Cotteridge Post Office with her eyes wide open in wonder. As she approached the counter, she pointed excitedly at something on the wall and whispered, 'Mom, what’s that funny stamp doing there?' The old lady behind the counter smiled warmly. ‘That, my dear,’ she said gently, ‘is our very own Cotteridge ghost stamp. They say it brings good luck.’ The girl giggled, and as they left, she turned back to whisper to her mom, ‘Can we come here again tomorrow?’
