About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on London Road’s post office parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Nobody claimed it, and soon everyone started whispering about its origins. Soon enough, a regular customer joked that maybe Santa had delivered his early, leaving the wrapping intact but forgetting the presents. The delivery driver laughed it off until one day he found an identical package himself—this time addressed to him personally. Turned out, someone was having fun with old-fashioned pranks, and the whole neighborhood joined in, leaving anonymous packages around town for weeks.
2. One afternoon, while sorting mail in the London Road Post Office, an old stamp caught the clerk's eye. It looked familiar, but she couldn't quite place it. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in and asked if anyone had seen his hat. The clerk smiled and pointed to the old stamp, saying it reminded her of something similar she'd found once. They both laughed, realizing it was just an ordinary stamp after all—until they noticed it was actually the missing hat!
3. At dawn one day, a postal van pulled up outside London Road Post Office, and its engine emitted a strange humming sound like bees singing hymns. The door opened, and an elderly lady emerged, smiling warmly. She waved at everyone, saying, 'Morning, neighbors!' Then she turned to the driver and asked, 'Did you bring my lottery tickets?' The driver nodded enthusiastically, still humming softly. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the post office, they’d whisper, 'That’s where the postman sings like a bee.'
4. At dawn one day, a postal van pulled up outside London Road Post Office, and a strange humming noise filled the air. The mail carrier looked around puzzled, but no one else seemed to notice. Suddenly, an old lady from next door popped her head out of the window and asked, ‘Is everything alright love? That’s been going on for ages!’ The mailman shrugged and said, ‘I guess it is my new alarm clock then.’ And with that, he went inside, whistling cheerfully.
