A delivery office is subtly different in that it is the point where posties do 
the final sort into their bags for delivery. In terms of mapping these are the 
most important places to map as they are where the public go to collect mail 
that couldn't be delivered. The public do not generally need to access a 
sorting office as that deals with outgoing mail.

To complicate things a bit further, Shrewsbury Mail Centre acts as both 
outgoing sorting office and local delivery office. I would imagine that is 
quite common in large towns and cities.
