Replica Palace of Versailles
More local news from in and around the South Hampshire from Dibben and Dibben
as a man has recreated the Palace of Versailles inside his Hampshire
council flat after spending two decades handcrafting elaborate wooden
designs. The 59 year-old has spent 23 years recreating the palace by
covering the walls and ceilings of his ninth floor, two bedroom, flat
in his anonymous 1960's concrete tower block. Despite spending
hundreds of hours painstakingly working his magic on wardrobes, chairs
and off cuts of wood rescued from skips, recreating his Southampton
home it has not cost him much money. Some of the tables are made from
discarded wooden salad bowls while detailing on the fireplace was
created using the brass prongs from plugs. He did buy several of the
pieces, however. Now the grandiose design resembles the famous
French Palace of Versailles which was built on the outskirts of Paris
for Louis XV. Looking for an Estate Agents in Fareham or an Estate Agents In Southampton, then look no further than Dibben and Dibben established Estate Agents in Hampshire for over 20 years.

who sailed around Britain with the Ellen MacArthur Trust as skipper and
mate, are now embarking on a new challenge to raise more funds for the
Trust. Having recently spent four months sailing around Britain with
the Ellen MacArthur Trust you might have expected sailors Cath Vise and
Karen Fraser to take the opportunity for a well earned rest. Instead
they have taken on a new challenge, cycling from Land’s End to John
O’Groats via the three peaks of Snowdon, Scafell Pike, and Ben Nevis,
and climbing each one on route. By the time they have finished the
challenge on 7 November Cath and Karen will have sailed around Britain,
cycled the length of Britain, and climbed Britain’s highest peaks, all
within six months. Looking for an Estate Agents in Fareham or an Estate Agents In Southampton, then look no further than Dibben and Dibben established Estate Agents in Hampshire for over 20 years.
