Leading between Thames Road and the riverside walk Strand-on-the-Green, this alley got its name because it actually led to a post office, though where that building was I have been unable to ascertain. The houses at the end look as if they block the path but the one on the left, which dates to 1752, has its first floor built over the path and a low narrow tunnel at ground level allow access through the property to the riverside walk.
