Postman Pat North Yorkshire. Greendale is a large, busy village situated in the heart of the Cumbrian countryside. Running through the centre of the village is the High Street, home to Mrs Goggins' Post Office and shop, an unofficial meeting house for the residents. Located on the edge of the village is the railway station, home to the Greendale Rocket. Nisha Bains runs a popular café there with Sara while her husband Ajay runs a regular schedule on the Greendale Rocket to the nearby town of Pencaster. In the original series (1 and 2), Greendale consisted of windy and narrow country roads
John Cunliffe (author) commissioned by the BBC to write "Postman Pat", which was produced by Ivor Wood and first aired in 1981. He created Pat and Greendale as an idyllic village where everyone was nice to each other, in contrast to the bullying he had suffered when growing up. Following the success of "Postman Pat", Cunliffe subsequently became something of a local celebrity, having a room dedicated to him at Kendal's Museum of Lakeland Life. In the 1990s, Cunliffe's other well-known creation, "Rosie and Jim", was also written for television. He scripted and presented the first 50 episodes, then turned some of them
