Hi Thetutor!
What is the name of the real village represented by Greendale in Postman Pat?
Greendale was inspired by the real valley of Longsleddale.

?In June 2003, the Beast Banks post office in Longsleddale, the
real-life inspiration for the Greendale post office, closed down due
to lack of business. On September 15 2004 a plaque was placed at the
former post office to mark its role as the inspiration for the Postman
Pat stories.?
