Now that the Ashley Road East Post Office has closed (2004), the name Ashley Road West for this branch seems a little odd, since it's the only office in Ashley Road. The postbox is emptied finally at 5:30pm on weekdays and at noon on Saturdays. There had previously been a single office in Ahsley Road – probably this one – called plain 'Ashley Road' from 1 September 1893 until 1911 when the second one opened.
