The Newport tardis Photo by waltjabsco

According to the BBC

A community is trying to save a listed Tardis-style police box which has fallen into disrepair.

The box in Somerton, Newport, is the only one to survive in the city and one of the few remaining in the UK.

But it is now falling apart and will need thousands spent to restore it to its former glory.

During much of the 20th Century, the boxes were used to contact police officers by phone before personal radios made them redundant.

They are now perhaps better known as Doctor Who’s time machine, or Tardis, in the popular television series.

There is also a Facebook group dedicated to it.

Of course on readersheds we have loads of TARDIS but not original ones!

The gudaueinan says

For your money you don’t just get what the agent Cundalls describes as a “detached one-bedroom bungalow requiring full refurbishment and/or redevelopment” (but most other people would describe as a shed), you also get two acres of land in the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors national park.

ok I do sound a bit off but I don’t mean it, some great examples of normal American sheds, then this one was in the slideshow! and made me cheer up a bit – A great Castle Shed

I want to know more about it!

Its great that their local website is showing off the sheds as some great inspirations.

Each week this summer, Inside&Out will feature some of the unique and cool garden sheds sent to us by Northeast Ohio gardeners.

If these two remind you of outhouses, that’s because one is an authentic outhouse, and the other is a replica.
Indoor plumbing was nonexistent for the Hazelton family living in Ashtabula. “I grew up with an outhouse, and there was no running water on our property,” says Shari Hazelton. “And that wasn’t long ago, because I’m 65.” So for her garden shed, Hazelton had an outhouse replica built from barn siding, and put in a few shelves for tools. “And that’s the beginning. I have some long johns that I’m going to put on a dummy, have the dummy seated inside and leave the door open,” she says, laughing. “You’ll be able to see it coming down the road. It’s just for fun.”

Of course if any of the sheddies from Ohio are reading this, then please Share your shed, it could be International shed of the year 2010.
