Norwich Central Eye Clinic

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Norwich, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Smith used to mutter to himself as he walked past the Central Eye Clinic: ‘I bet they can see right through me!’ One day, a delivery driver overheard him and asked if it was true. The delivery driver laughed and replied, ‘Mr. Smith, I deliver here every week, and believe me, no one sees you any clearer than they did last year.’ The old man smiled sheepishly and said, ‘Well, that’s good news then! At least I’m still invisible to them.’

2. At night, when everyone had left, a delivery driver noticed strange lights flickering inside Norwich Central Eye Clinic. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old pair of glasses slowly rotating on their stand, as if someone were trying to adjust them from beyond. Suddenly, a voice whispered from behind him: ‘Excuse me, could you please pass that prescription over?’ The delivery driver turned around—no one was there. Shaking his head, he shrugged it off and drove away, leaving the clinic’s eerie spectacles to continue their late-night dance.

3. In Norwich, every morning before opening hours, a curious pigeon would perch on the clinic’s ledge and stare intently into the window. Employees joked it was trying to read prescriptions. One day, an elderly gentleman entered asking for his new glasses. When asked how they looked, he replied, ‘Perfectly clear!’ Turned out, he’d been wearing them backwards ever since that fateful morning when the pigeon inspired him.’

4. In Norwich, every dawn before sunrise, a mysterious shadow would appear in the empty hallway of the Central Eye Clinic. A passing nurse once caught a glimpse and swears it was just a reflection, but no one could explain why the janitor’s mop always seemed to move on its own. One night, a delivery driver arriving late noticed the lights were on. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old man adjusting glasses in the mirror. ‘I thought this place was closed,’ said the driver. The man smiled and replied, “Closed? Not when there are eyes that still see the future.”
