About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of Norfolk, when most people were still dreaming, an old delivery driver pulled up to the post office. As he unlocked the door, a strange humming sound filled the air. Everyone assumed it was just the mailroom’s ancient heating system kicking in again. As he opened the door wider, everyone heard the same humming louder—until they realized it was coming from inside his old truck, where a neighbor's mischievous cat had hidden overnight. The poor creature was so scared that its purring sounded like machinery. After some confused looks and a few scratched fingers, the cat was safely returned home, and the post office resumed its usual quiet routine.

2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to the Norfolk Post Office and noticed something unusual on the door: ‘Today is Tuesday—Mail Only for People Born on Wednesdays.’ Confused, he opened the door, only to see an old lady smiling warmly behind the counter. 'Oh, hello there,' she said cheerfully. 'I’m just testing out my new Wednesday-only mail policy.' The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and thought to himself: 'This place will never change.'

3. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to the Norfolk Post Office and noticed something peculiar—a faint scent of fresh-baked cookies wafted through the open door. Curious, he stepped inside and found an elderly lady in a red apron, humming gently as she arranged cookies on a tray. ‘Morning,’ she said with a smile. ‘These are for everyone who works here—my secret recipe.’ The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head. ‘Next time, could you maybe leave a note?’

4. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to the Norfolk Post Office and called out, ‘Anyone here for a package from abroad?’ A sleepy-eyed regular replied, ‘I’m waiting for one from Australia.’ The driver nodded, ‘Me too, mate—only mine’s been stuck in customs since last Tuesday!’ The two men exchanged puzzled glances before realizing they were both wearing identical plaid shirts with kangaroos on them. They burst into laughter, realizing their packages must be switched somewhere down under. That night, they had a pint together, comparing notes on strange occurrences in Norfolk.
