Man turned his shed into replica of Titanic cabin

A Titanic enthusiast who turned his shed into a replica of one of the ship's cabins will be spending Christmas Day inside it.

John Siggins, from Ripley in Derbyshire, finished the project 10 years ago and says eating his Christmas dinner inside has become an annual tradition.

The shed is fitted with authentic panels and original items from the Titanic's sister ship, the Olympic, which was scrapped in 1935.

Although the interior would look identical to items found on the Titanic, Mr Siggins does not own anything from the sunken ship itself.
