About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when most pharmacies lock their doors, a delivery driver pulled up to Selly Park Surgery with an urgent package. The moonlight reflected eerily off the empty streets as he approached the front desk. As he neared the door, he heard a faint voice from inside: ‘Delivery for Dr. Jones?’ Turns out it was just a neighbor checking on them after hours. With a relieved smile, the driver realized that sometimes the most urgent packages are delivered by nosy neighbors.’

2. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the surgery’s supply closet. Among the usual medical supplies lay an old, dusty box labeled ‘Silly Putty’. Curious, he picked it up and gave it a gentle squeeze—it bounced back into shape like nothing had happened. A few minutes later, when the doctor came in for his shift, he asked the driver if he’d seen anything unusual. The driver shrugged and said, ‘Just some Silly Putty in the supply closet.’ The doctor laughed and replied, ‘Ah, that must be mine—keeps my stress levels down during long nights.’

3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an early riser heard a strange noise coming from the Selly Park Surgery building. Curious, they peered through the window and saw a doctor diligently writing prescriptions while humming a tune. Turns out, he’d been up all night watching old sitcoms on TV in his office. When asked why he was there so early, he simply said, ‘I couldn’t sleep, and it beats sitting alone at home.’

4. At midnight, when most doctors' surgeries are quiet, a delivery driver parked outside and saw a familiar face peering out from one of the closed windows. Curious, he knocked gently on the window. To his surprise, an old teddy bear appeared next to the face, waving cheerfully. Turned out, it was just a neighbor checking if everything was okay after hours.
