About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the NatWest bank parking lot—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious but cautious, he took it inside to the manager’s office. Upon opening it, they found only a note that read: 'For your safe keeping—hopefully.' Inside was a bag of old sweets from a local candy store. The manager smiled, thinking maybe a neighbor had left it as a sweet gesture for their service. Ever since then, whenever someone delivers or withdraws money, they leave an extra chocolate bar on the counter.

2. A curious neighbor noticed that every night around dusk, an old safe mysteriously appeared outside the NatWest bank's front door. Nobody seemed to notice or mind—until one day, it vanished without a trace. Then, one evening, a delivery driver arrived with a large crate. He casually remarked, 'This must be why everyone’s been staring at the bank!' Turns out, it was just a new ATM. The neighbors sighed in relief and went back to their tea.

3. Have you heard? Somebody keeps leaving mysterious packages outside NatWest after hours. First it was a box of donuts with a note saying ‘Don’t worry, it’s on us.’ Then came a stack of freshly printed checks addressed to nobody in particular. Finally, someone left an envelope filled with anonymous gift cards for coffee and pastries. The note read: 'For all those long nights waiting.' Ever since then, everyone jokes that NatWest must have a secret benefactor who loves their customers.

4. A delivery driver parked his truck near NatWest one foggy afternoon and noticed something peculiar on the backseat of his colleague’s car—an envelope addressed simply to ‘The Bank.’ Curious, he opened it to find a note reading: 'Dear Bank, please accept our apologies for overdrawing your account again.' Inside was £5 and a smiley face drawn in ballpoint pen. The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and drove off, thinking that some people never change.
