Walsall has many things: a swanky bus station, a historic football ground, a proud history of craftsmanship - and it was once the centre of the world for leather making. It's also home to a shop where you can buy a decommissioned light machine gun, a motorbike turned into a bar and a set of ape statues flipping the bird - so obviously we had to visit.<br />Named The Dog House, the quirky one-of-a-kind shop puts Lidl's famous middle aisle to shame and has been sat proudly in Walsall for decades. The family-run firm is now run by the original owner's daughter, Fay Rutter, who runs it alongside the rest of the team.
