Ship cabin transformed into award-nominated 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 now been shortlisted for the Shed of the Year award, since undergoing a transformation. The pair told BBC Radio Shropshire's Ellen Knight they were left "really quite shocked and very delighted."
