Great Wall of Fleetwood: Man builds 16ft garden wall in protest at neighbour's sun terrace ... and now it's a tourist attraction | Mail Online

Great Wall of Fleetwood: Man builds 16ft garden wall in protest at neighbour's sun terrace ... and now it's a tourist attraction | Mail Online: "After spending two months building a sun terrace on the kitchen roof of their seaside home, Dennis and Sandra Hawes settled down to enjoy the view. But not for long. Next-door neighbour Charles Hart was disgruntled that he was not consulted about the terrace, which overlooked his garden. So he decided to exact revenge - and built what is known locally as the Great Wall of Fleetwood. The view from the terrace is now obstructed by a barrier 16ft high and 26ft long between the properties in the Lancashire former fishing port. The wall has caused so much controversy that it has even become a tourist attraction, with taxi drivers pointing it out to their passengers."
