About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into M&S Foodhall, he swore he heard soft laughter echoing from the empty aisles. The next morning, no one else remembered hearing anything unusual. Later that week, another delivery driver mentioned over coffee that he thought he saw someone waving from behind the cheese counter. When they went to investigate, it was just an old carton of milk with its reflection playing tricks in the fluorescent lights. Since then, whenever anyone mentions ghostly sightings, everyone at M&S Foodhall just smiles and says, ‘Probably just the cheese guy.’

2. Early in the morning, when most people were dreaming of breakfast, an employee at M&S Foodhall heard something strange coming from the dairy section. Curious, they peeked around the corner and saw a delivery driver gently placing milk cartons back on the shelf, humming a tune. Turns out, he had accidentally knocked them over while dancing to his favorite song. The early-morning routine was saved by a good-natured smile and a promise never to dance again so close to the dairy aisle.

3. At midnight, when even rats took a break, a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he stacked boxes in M&S Foodhall, he kept hearing whispers coming from behind the cheese counter. Curious, he leaned closer and heard a voice saying, ‘Help us, driver man!’ Turned out it was just an old carton of expired yogurt talking. The delivery driver laughed it off, but from that day on, whenever someone asked for yogurt past its prime, everyone at M&S would wink knowingly.

4. At closing time, when only cleaning staff remained, a security guard heard a faint voice calling from the dairy aisle: ‘Excuse me, do you have any more of those?’ Curious, he approached and found an elderly gentleman rummaging through the milk cartons. 'I thought I saw some special ones here,' the man said with a twinkle in his eye. The guard smiled and shook his head: 'Sir, these are just regular milk.' The old fellow nodded wisely, 'Ah, well then I'll take one—just for luck!'
