About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver approached Dixons Sales & Letting Agents, he stopped in surprise. The usually quiet street was filled with an odd humming sound—like thousands of bees had taken up residence inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—a few papers on the desk, a phone ringing softly. Then, from behind him came a voice: 'Morning, mate! Need some help carrying those boxes?' It was just the office manager, Mr. Jenkins, who’d been practicing his new hobby—humming while working. Relieved, the delivery driver smiled and said, ‘Thanks, but I’ll manage.’

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, an intrepid delivery driver pulled up outside Dixons Sales and Letting Agents. As he opened the boot of his van, something glinted in the dim light—a small, silver keychain shaped like a house. Curious, he pocketed it without thinking much. Later that day, while showing a prospective tenant around a property, he absent-mindedly jangled the keys. The tenant looked up with a smile: ‘That’s funny,’ she said, ‘my old flat had exactly the same keychain.’ It turned out they were neighbors from years ago.

3. Late one night, a neighbor was watering their garden when they noticed something odd. The lights in Dixons Sales & Letting Agents were on, even though it was well past closing time. Curious, the neighbor peered inside through the window. They saw an old man, dusting shelves with meticulous care. Turns out, he was just Mr. Jenkins from down the street, who worked part-time there after retirement. He’d forgotten to turn off the lights before heading home.

4. One day, after closing time, a curious cat crept into Dixons Sales & Letting Agents through an open door. It began meowing insistently near an old filing cabinet, attracting the attention of the night watchman. The night watchman peered curiously at the feline intruder. 'What do you want, little fellow?' he asked gently. The cat paused for a moment, then leaped onto the desk, knocking over a pile of brochures with a dramatic meow. Satisfied that his mission was accomplished, it sauntered out as mysteriously as it had come.
