The nineteenth-century building was formerly a tea room named for the resident ghost, but has now been refurbished as a furniture store. Staff and diners claim to have heard a woman’s laughter echoing through the building during the early afternoon, and have seen a woman in old-fashioned dress wandering throughout the place. Known as the ‘Laughing Lady’, it is believed she perished in a fire that destroyed the original premises in 1899. Another ghost, perhaps a poltergeist, is suspected to haunt the old edifice as well.
