Is it the most efficient post office on the planet? No. Is it the quietest? Absolutely not. But does it have soul? Oh, yes. Big, bold, Newcastle soul.
It’s a bit of a civic treasure. It’s where the city’s heartbeat slows down for a moment, just to mail a letter. It deserves a little love, don’t you think?
So next time you’re on Northumberland Street, pop your head in. Even if you don’t have to post anything. Just stand in the middle and look up at that ceiling. Then you’ll get it.
Now, I’m off to queue for a book of stamps. Wish me luck with the security guard. He’s watching me. I think he knows I wrote this.
