About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver approached Asda Opticians, he stopped in surprise. The usually quiet street was filled with an eerie humming sound, like thousands of tiny bees had taken up residence inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—just rows of glasses and empty shelves. Then, from within, a voice called out: ‘Is that you, Mr. Delivery Guy? We’ve been expecting you!’ Turns out it was just an old pair of hearing aids playing tricks on his mind.

2. While walking home one afternoon, a neighbor muttered under his breath, ‘Why does it always rain on Sundays?’ Just then, a strange mist seemed to rise from Asda Opticians’ window. Inside, an old lady with thick glasses was muttering, 'Why do I never see anyone else when I'm here?' The mist cleared to reveal her standing alone in the empty shop, surrounded by boxes of old spectacles. Outside, the neighbor chuckled and said, 'Maybe because everyone's already got their eyes tested!'

3. While unloading boxes from his truck, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar inside Asda Opticians’ loading bay. Among the usual supplies lay an old, dusty pair of glasses with a handwritten note attached: ‘Please return to their rightful owner.’ Curious, he picked up the glasses and read the note aloud: 'To the person who lost these specs—please come forward.' A nearby shopkeeper overheard him and laughed, saying, “That’s funny, I’ve been wearing those for years!”

4. While adjusting his glasses, an elderly gentleman paused outside Asda Opticians. Suddenly, he swore he saw a pair of eyes peering back at him from behind the display window. Curious, he leaned closer—only to realize it was just his reflection in the shop’s old-fashioned glass. With a laugh, he adjusted his own specs and entered the store, where a friendly optician asked if he needed any help choosing frames. ‘Just checking,’ he replied, shaking his head with a smile.
