About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver approached Anglia Community Eye Service, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside. It grew louder with every step until it sounded like someone tuning up a giant organ. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only blinking lights and empty rooms. Suddenly, a friendly receptionist appeared and asked him if he needed help. Turns out, the strange noise was just the new automated eye exam system warming up for its first day of work.

2. Late one night, an intern was typing away in the Anglia Community Eye Service lab when she noticed something odd on her screen—an eye chart that seemed to change letters every few seconds. Curious, she leaned closer and realized it wasn’t a glitch—it was actually someone’s name written backwards! ‘E-Y-E’ flipped around read as ‘E-Y-E,’ but then she saw another word forming: ‘N-I-C-E.’ Turns out, it was just a delivery driver checking his reflection in the monitor while waiting for his package.

3. Late one night, an intern was typing away in the Anglia Community Eye Service when suddenly her computer screen lit up with a message: ‘Please adjust your focus for optimal performance.’ The intern rubbed her eyes and thought it might be a glitch. But then she heard someone whispering from behind her: 'Could you please stop staring at that screen?' Turns out, an elderly volunteer had been sitting next to her, trying to get her attention. They both laughed, and the rest of their shift passed without any more strange messages.

4. Late one night, an intern was typing away in the Anglia Community Eye Service when someone whispered their name from behind. The intern spun around, but saw only empty corridors. ‘Must be my imagination,’ they thought. Suddenly, a voice said, “You missed your contact lens again!” It turned out to be just an old lady who came for her monthly check-up. They both laughed, and the night ended with a friendly chat about cataract surgery.
