Summary
Pathe synopsis: At Denham in Buckinghamshire, the Faircloughs have a garden anyone can be proud of. But at the bottom of the garden there’s something really original - a palace for more than 250 racing pigeons. With air-conditioning inside and bathing pool outside, the palace is easily the most lavishly designed and decorated pigeon loft in the world.
