    We recently had a trip into London, while visiting the famous Portobello Market I came across these.......

    Now wouldn't you just love to get your hands on these to renovate!!

    I think the store in the middle of Manchester has the same display. I saw it at the weekend and was rather impressed!
    I only got a photo on my phone though, so its not a great picture.
