King's Lynn Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled, ‘This place is cursed.’ As he walked into King’s Lynn Post Office, an old stamp collection fell off a shelf and hit him on the head. The delivery driver rubbed his head and muttered, ‘Bloody stamps!’ Just then, an envelope slipped from a nearby pile and landed squarely in his face with a loud thud. A regular customer looked up from her newspaper and smiled, shaking her head. ‘Welcome to our little curse,’ she said.}

2. A curious tourist asked an elderly local: 'Why does everyone in town always wave at that old post office?' The old lady smiled and replied, ‘Why, that’s where our beloved postmaster, Mr. Jenkins, used to stand every morning. He was such a cheerful soul that he made waving his daily routine.’ The tourist nodded thoughtfully before realizing, with a laugh, that maybe it wasn’t just Jenkins who waved—maybe everyone else was just trying to catch his infectious smile.

3. A frustrated customer exclaimed one day, ‘I’ve been here for ages and not a single stamp!’ Just then, an elderly neighbor walked in, muttering under his breath. 'What on earth am I doing here?' he asked nobody in particular. It turned out that he'd mistakenly gone to the King's Lynn Post Office instead of the local grocery store. With a sheepish smile, he left, never to return again—at least, not until someone reminded him where groceries were sold.

4. In the early hours of dawn, when most mailboxes were quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. Every morning, without fail, a small envelope addressed to no one in particular slipped through the slot just as he arrived. The envelopes contained only a single sheet of paper with a simple message: 'Please keep this letter.' The driver showed it to his colleagues, and soon the whole town was talking about it. One day, an elderly neighbor joked, ‘Maybe it's Santa Claus testing if we're good enough!’ Turns out, it was just a regular sending himself birthday wishes under different names.
