Ship cabin restored into award-winning shed

Available for over a year

Abi Chesterton spotted the disused cabin, "looking sorry for itself", on a dockside in Maryport, Cumbria, when on holiday in 2022. Her partner, Richard Banks, then surprised her by ensuring the cabin appeared in their garden, near Oswestry in Shropshire, a few months later. It's since been lovingly restored, and has now won in the "unexpected or unique" category at the Shed of the Year Awards. BBC Radio Shropshire's Mark Elliott spoke to Richard and the competition's founder and head judge, Andrew Wilcox.
