I suppose it would only be a Great tit that would want to go in that house.

Some years ago there was a house somewhere near Bagwyllydiart in Herefordshire with a row of bubble canopies in the garden in use as cloches.

Way back around 1957 a house near to Hurn had about a dozen Harvard canopies in use as garden cloches. The house is still there ...not so the canopies!

Our garden shed had the hut number board from hut 51 at Hawkinge - I think the original building was demolished decades ag,o as was our shed, although the old shed door remains as a "feature" on one of our garden walls.

I was never sure if the hut number was original or something added for the "Battle of Britain" film. Not sure where it is now but I never threw it away.

EDIT: This is it on our old shed back at the turn of the century!

This was in a garden in Legbourne, Lincolnshire.
Its been there many years now


Bombs seem popular in Lincolnshire, must be the proximity to all those ranges.....
