Postman Pat charity collecting box at the former Beast Bank Post Office, 10 Greenside, Kendal, Cumbria, England, United Kingdom, Europe.

---

Postman Pat, the famous childrens television character, was born in 1976 at 32 Greenside, Kendal, where his author, John Cunliffe, lived. The local sub post office was here at 10 Greenside where John began his research for the series and imagined sitting behind the counter. The post office closed in 2003 but Pat travelled on in his little red van for many a year after that, delighting children all over the world. The NSPCC charity collecting box, outside the former post office, has the inscription "For the sake of the children".
