About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was sorting packages in front of Connells, he swore he heard someone whispering his name from inside the empty office. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but dust motes dancing in the sunlight. Suddenly, an old postcard fell from one of the drawers, landing right on the floor with a loud thud. The driver picked it up and read: 'To Mr. Delivery Guy, best offers on houses today!' Turned out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who thought it would be fun to scare him.'

2. In the early hours, a delivery driver was unloading boxes outside Connells when he noticed something odd on the pavement—a strange-looking envelope addressed to no one in particular. Curious, he picked it up and opened it—inside was just a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Dear Connells, please accept our humblest apologies for the inconvenience. Yours sincerely, A Regular.’ Turns out someone had accidentally delivered their flyers to Connells instead of the local pub next door.

3. One day, an eager realtor stood behind Connells' counter, showing off new listings on the PA system. Suddenly, every client's head turned as an old lady announced: 'And don't forget to check out our charming home with a secret passage!' A delivery driver paused mid-unload and asked curiously, ‘Where exactly is this secret passage?’ The realtor smiled mysteriously, replying, ‘Why don’t you come by for a viewing? We might just find out together!’

4. A regular stopped by Connells one afternoon and asked the agent, ‘Do you know why houses here sell so fast?’ The agent replied, ‘Because they’re always listed as “must see”!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in and asked, ‘Does anyone want to buy a fridge?’ The agent looked up and said, ‘Absolutely! We’ll list it as “must see”!’
