Mr. Frank Guhnell is a Worcester Corporation dustman who for the past 27 years has lived in a self-built tree hut in an isolated spot by the river Teme near Worcester.  The hut is well above flood level although on occasions Mr. Gunnell has been marooned for long periods.  In winter time he lays in stocks of food for emergency, but all this inconvenience is compensated for in other ways: he has no rent or rates to pay.  As companions he has a cat and dog.  Photo shows Frank Gunnell  standing on his verandah prior to leaving for his long walk and cycle ride across the fields to work. - 5th August 1958.<br>©TopFoto
