A rented flat that was transformed into a “fantasy world” by its artistic tenant has been given Grade II listing after volunteers stepped in to save it.
Ron Gittins lived in his rented flat in Oxton, Wirral, for more than 30 years - during which time he totally transformed its interior, creating fireplaces in the shape of a lion and a minotaur, crafting a Roman altar in the kitchen and painting Egyptian, Greek and marine murals floor to ceiling.
