Ron Gittins spent years transforming his Wirral home into a unique work of art, without anyone knowing.
However, his hard work was only discovered after his death. When his niece Jan Williams entered the Oxton semi-detached house she found he had painted murals inspired by Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt on the walls, floors and ceiling, and had built gigantic fireplaces in the shape of a lion and a bull.
His other creations included a life-size papier mache model of Egyptian queen Cleopatra, a series of papier mache heads and cardboard Roman armour. An artist herself, Jan was determined to preserve her Uncle Ron's work and open it as a space to inspire others.
