About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, when most postal workers were already deep in their routine, an old delivery driver pulled up to West Heath Post Office with something unusual in his truck. A large wooden crate marked ‘Top Secret’ caught everyone’s eye. As he opened it, a sleepy-looking pigeon pecked its head out and cooed at everyone. Turns out, someone had mistakenly delivered the wrong crate—full of birdseed instead of classified documents. The whole village laughed for days over that mix-up.
2. At dawn one morning, while most postal workers were settling into their desks, an old man appeared at the West Heath Post Office counter with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. The postmaster curiously unwrapped it, revealing nothing but a small card saying ‘Happy Birthday!’ and a packet of cookies. Turned out it was from a neighbor who had forgotten it was his birthday that day. Everyone had a good laugh over morning tea.
3. At dawn one morning, when most postal workers were already deep in their routine, a delivery driver pulled up outside the West Heath Post Office with a package so large it seemed to fill his entire truck bed. Over the intercom, he announced: ‘Attention everyone—this is no ordinary package. It weighs more than I do and has eyes that follow me!’ Inside, the postmaster scratched his head and said, 'Well, if it's got eyes, let's hope it doesn't have teeth!' They gingerly opened the box—and out popped a giant tortoise, who had been sleeping through the whole commotion. The neighbors came over later that day to collect their free pet.
4. At dawn one morning, as a delivery driver was loading packages onto his truck, he noticed something peculiar on the ground near the West Heath Post Office. Curious, he bent down and picked up an old, crumpled envelope. Written in childish handwriting was ‘Dear Santa, please bring me a pony.’ The delivery driver laughed out loud, realizing it must’ve been lost during the night. He placed it inside the post office door for someone to find, smiling at the thought of a little boy’s surprise when he discovered it later that day.
