Bollocks to Alton Towers: Uncommonly British Days Out

Alex Morris,Jason Hazeley,Joel Morris,Robin Halstead

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 … This book makes you proud!
