Ship cabin transformed into award-nominated shed
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."
