94-year-old Lancashire man builds shed to house his collection of 1,000 teddy bears

Dennis Adelsberg, 94, from Lathom, began work on his shed a year ago at the age of 93.br br He built "99 per cent" of it by himself - with a small helping hand installing the double-glazed window.br br He used old conservatory roofing from his daughter, Gill, for the roof, built the shelves and fencing for the structure and decorated the outside with artificial flowers.br br Grandad-of-five Dennis has collected die-cast collectible toy cars and planes throughout his life and has since developed an appreciation for the bears.br br He now has around 1,000 - including fluffy bears, pottery bears, door stops and pictures - and estimates his collection to be worth around £3,000.
