Did you know that Aldbourne in Wiltshire has a Tardis-shaped litter bin in the middle of the village? Aldbourne was "Devils End" inr "Doctor Who and the Daemons" with Jon Pertwee.

It's made by Tim Beattie, who has just added a Dalek.

Cool :)
In the cities in the streets there's a tension you can feel,
The breaking strain is fast approaching, guns and riots.
Politicians gamble and lie to save their skins,
And the press get fed the scapegoats,
Public Enema Number One.

Both look lovely. I must make Aldbourne a destination one of these days. I assume if you press the button "do not press" the Dalek comes to life and exterminates you.
why doesn't the Guide mention them? - Oh, it's not very accurate.
Oh? - I'm researching the new edition.

Hi Nate,

You can find more details here: http://aldbourne.net/news/exterminating-rubbish.

I live only eight miles from Aldbourne, if anyone wants some photos of these bins in their location, let me know and I'll pop over there and take some snaps.
