Book description
The British Lawnmower Museum, Keith Harding's World of Mechanical
Music and Mad Jack's Sugar Loaf. In a world of theme parks,
interactive exhibits, over-priced merchandise and queues, don't worry,
these are names to stir the soul. Reassuring evidence that there's
still somewhere to turn in search of the small, fascinating, unique
and, dammit, British.
In a stumbling journey across the country in search of the best we
have to offer our intrepid heroes discovered dinosaurs in South
London, a cold war castle in Essex, grown men pretending to be
warships in Scarborough, unexplained tunnels under Liverpool and a
terraced house in Bedford being kept warm for Jesus's return. And
along the way they met the people behind them all: enthusiasts,
eccentrics and, you know, those who just sort of fell into looking
after a vast collection of gnomes ...
Makes you proud!
