The Farley Post Office is home to "Operation Santa", made famous in the classic 1947 film Miracle on 34th Street and it is the inspiration for the post office in Terry Pratchett's Going Postal, with its "Glom of nit" legend.
The author Terry Pratchett has also used Hobson as model for a character in the novel Going Postal from 2004.
