About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to the Cherry Hinton Road Post Office one morning and called out, ‘Hey, did anyone order a giant box of chocolates?’ The whole town had been hearing strange noises coming from inside ever since. Finally, an old lady from down the road walked in and said, ‘That would be mine—sent it myself by mistake!’ Turned out she’d accidentally ordered a crate full of chocolates for her granddaughter’s birthday instead of a small packet. Since then, whenever someone orders something unusual, everyone just smiles and waits for the annual chocolate surprise.’

2. One foggy afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Cherry Hinton Road Post Office and noticed something odd—a persistent humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he opened the door slightly—only to discover an old radio playing its favorite tune, stuck on repeat. The humming was soothing rather than alarming, and soon everyone in the village knew the song by heart. From then on, whenever someone needed mail delivered, they’d hear that familiar melody, knowing help was near.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the Cherry Hinton Road Post Office one morning and asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever get letters addressed just “To the person who lives here”?’ The clerk shrugged and said, 'Not often.' Then a neighbor walked in, holding an envelope with just that exact phrase on it. Everyone burst out laughing when she exclaimed, 'It’s for me!' The delivery driver shook his head and drove off, muttering something about mysterious addresses.

4. One rainy night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to the Cherry Hinton Road Post Office. The rain pelted against the window as he noticed something odd on the noticeboard: ‘Last parcel picked up by unicorn.’ He scratched his head and muttered, ‘Unicorns don’t deliver parcels.’ Just then, a regular customer popped in and asked if everything was okay. With a straight face, the driver replied, ‘No, ma’am, I’m trying to figure out how a unicorn could’ve signed for that package!’ They both burst into laughter, reminding each other that sometimes life’s little mysteries are best left unsolved.
