Strangest local newspaper front page story you’re ever likely to see

It’s all happening in Frome.

And yes, it really did happen. Here’s the headline on the inside pages.

‘Frome salvage company find lifetime collection of vintage porn magazines stuffed into hidden bed compartment … He has seen all manner of things but this takes some beating!’

And there’s more. Lots more.

Karl Horler made a rather raunchy discovery while clearing out a vacant house.

And while the man behind architectural salvage company, Frome Reclamation, has seen all manner of things in his career, this one takes some beating.

Karl was clearing out a house in Bristol when he came across a lifetime collection of porn magazines stuffed into a compartment under a double bed.

He said it looks like the owner had been stuffing the magazines – some of which were in pristine condition – into the secret compartment for years.

He said: “I think it was a single man that had passed away and this was his collection.

“Sometimes when you’re doing jobs like this you have to clear a lot of rubbish out of the house. We went to move this bed and thought ‘this is heavy’.

“It’s a divan bed with a drawer at one end. The front was quite light but the other part was so heavy.

“I took the drawer out and the owner had obviously cut a hole behind it to shove the magazines in.

“We cut the bottom out and they all spilled out.”
