Built Complete Street Inside A Warehouse
Mr Thomas Sheppard, of Hull, always liked doing things that were difficult. He saw a model ship built in a bottle. So he built one himself. And so he went on. Then one day he worked out something really hard to do. And to-day, after five years, he has built a complete street inside a warehouse--and moved 30 ancient buildings hundreds of miles, stone by stone, to do it.
Mr Sheppard is Director of Hull Municipal Museums: The street he has built is complete to the tiniest detail.
Pavements and cobble-stones are centuries old. There is n plumber's shop built before the year 1500 and a 140-years-old |

The feat of which Mr Sheppard Is most proud was that of taking a chemist's shop, brick by brick, from Sunderland to Hull and rebuilding it.
"We had every brick and every plece of carved wood numbered and photographed before we started to pull the shop down," Mr Sheppard
said,
