About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights flickered on outside, a young boy would sit up in bed and listen intently as his grandmother told him stories about the old doctor’s office down Wensum Road. One evening, he heard her whisper, ‘They say that if you stand just right by the waiting room window, you can see ghostly figures moving between the shelves of medical supplies.’ One night, a delivery driver passing by noticed a shadowy figure peering through the window. Thinking it was just an old ghost story, he parked his truck and approached cautiously. To his surprise, it turned out to be only a cat, curiously checking out the new batch of bandages. Everyone laughed it off as another urban legend until the next day, when someone found the cat playing with some cotton wool in the parking lot.

2. In the quiet hallway of Wensum Valley Medical Practice, every afternoon around three o’clock, a small dog would appear out of nowhere. It would saunter past startled nurses and doctors, always heading straight for the reception desk. One day, an exasperated nurse named Sarah followed the dog into the staff room. There she found it sitting next to a smiling doctor who had just received a package from a delivery driver. Turns out, the little canine was a regular visitor—always showing up whenever someone forgot their lunch order.

3. In the waiting room of Wensum Valley Medical Practice, a small dog would suddenly start barking whenever an unfamiliar nurse approached the reception desk. One day, an elderly gentleman arrived for his check-up. As soon as he sat down next to the noisy pooch, the little dog turned its attention from the receptionist and fixed its eyes on him. After a few minutes of intense staring, the old man leaned over and whispered, ‘Well, hello there, Doc!’ Everyone in the room burst out laughing, including the usually stoic veterinarian who happened to be visiting that morning.

4. In the waiting room of Wensum Valley Medical Practice, an elderly gentleman cleared his throat and said loudly, ‘Excuse me, doctor—when do you think they’ll finally invent a pill for impatience?’ The doctor smiled and replied, 'Well sir, if such a thing existed, I’d be out of a job!' The old man nodded thoughtfully before another patient, a delivery driver, interrupted with a groan, 'Doc, when can I get that pill for traffic jams?' Everyone in the room burst into laughter.
