About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was sorting through the mail one day when he noticed something peculiar—a small envelope addressed simply to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This.’ Inside was a note reading: ‘If you receive this, please forward it along with no explanation.’ Curiosity got the better of him, and soon the whole town found themselves passing around mysterious envelopes filled with cryptic messages. Soon enough, everyone in Dereham Road was involved—even the local baker received an envelope one morning before opening his shop. By lunchtime, there were rumors flying faster than the delivery drivers’ bikes. Finally, after weeks of this game, someone opened an envelope without following instructions—and inside was just another envelope with a note: 'Congratulations! You’ve won the title of “Last One to Open”!' Everyone laughed so hard that they forgot to be suspicious anymore.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Dereham Road Post Office and noticed an eerie glow coming from inside. Curious, he cracked open the door—and was greeted not by stamps or letters, but by the sound of laughter so loud it echoed down the street. The delivery driver peered in further, thinking maybe someone was stuck or needed help. Suddenly, he saw a familiar face—an old neighbor, sorting mail with a big smile on his face and a pile of packages taller than him. ‘What are you doing here?’ asked the driver. With a twinkle in his eye, the neighbor replied, “Just helping out—it’s my turn today!’

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the Dereham Road Post Office late one night and shouted, ‘Hey, did anyone else just see that?’ The whole place fell silent as everyone craned their necks towards the window. Everyone peered out, but saw nothing but darkness. Then, from inside, a voice whispered, 'I thought I heard something too...' Turned out it was just an old cat prowling around. A delivery driver shook his head and said, 'Guess I'll stick to daytime deliveries!'

4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the Dereham Road Post Office, puzzled by an unusual note stuck inside every envelope. Each note read: 'Please deliver this letter to yourself.' The confused driver spent half an hour trying to explain it to nobody in particular before realizing it was some local's idea of fun. A regular from down the street eventually explained that it was just their way of saying ‘thank you’ for always being so friendly.
