Trafalgar Road Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an envelope taped to the door of Trafalgar Road Post Office. It read: ‘Open only when mail volume exceeds 100 pieces.’ Curious, he counted—nothing. But every day after that, the count mysteriously rose until it reached exactly 99. Finally, one fateful day, the counter hit 100—and nothing happened. The next morning, it was back down to zero. A regular customer joked, ‘Maybe they’re counting our prayers!’ Ever since then, everyone in the neighborhood drops off just one letter less than 100, ensuring their good luck continues.

2. Late one night, a postal worker heard a strange humming coming from inside the Trafalgar Road Post Office. At first he thought it might be his imagination, but the sound grew louder and more insistent with each passing minute. Curious, he followed the noise into the basement, where an old radio was playing an endless loop of ‘Yesterday’ by The Beatles. Turns out, the previous night’s storm had knocked out power to the neighborhood, and the radio’s battery was just enough to keep the tune going. Everyone in the area got a good laugh when they found him dancing around in his uniform.

3. One day, after school, a little girl named Emma walked past the Trafalgar Road Post Office and saw something peculiar: a small bird kept flying in through the open window. Curious, she followed it inside and found that the bird was trying to deliver a letter stuck to its tiny foot. With everyone laughing, they managed to free the bird who promptly flew out the same window, leaving behind a soggy envelope addressed to 'A Happy Mail Receiver.'

4. A neighborhood cat had taken it upon herself to deliver mail, leaping onto the counter and arranging letters in order of size before settling down for a nap. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an oversized package. The cat eyed it suspiciously, then decided to help out. She jumped up, rearranged everything on the counter, even tried to carry the box herself—only to get stuck halfway through the door. A neighbor rushed over, laughing, ‘You’re like our very own postal hero!’
