Hidden within the picturesque village of Audlem on the Shropshire/Cheshire border is the home of a very interesting man named Billy Gibbons.
Billy lives in a house on the edge of the village which from the outside may be described as quaint, but gives little clue to the 1950s shrine hidden inside.
Billy inside his front room which in contrast to the rest of the house was quite dark . He commented that he had taken several skulls down so they did not scare the paper’s audience.
Not quite a 50″ screen but the TV shows a lot more character than a normal set.
Walking into the kitchen is quite a shock as you are assailed by an array of bright primary colours and a collection of period artifacts including toys, magazines and a variety of other details waiting for you to discover them.
And it is not just the house that suprises you, heading outside you are presented with more madness, including a garage filled with old petrol pumps, signs and other items.
Billy himself commented that he understands that people can be taken back by his home but for him it is just his normal environment and the usual for him.
As ever, really interesting stuff Alex
