Wax - Rosana

Kylie Minogue?
The Louis Tussuad's House of Wax in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, which has cult status on the internet because so many of its models look nothing like the people they are supposed to represent is in fear of closing. It's a sad day...

The ageing owners Peter and Jane Hayes have been running the wax freak show for almost 60 years now and they have children or family to take over their business.

There are lots of photos of their wax dummies online today and apart from the Kylie one, I didn't get any of them right as they really aren't anything like the real person but I suppose that's part of it's charm. Adolf Hitler and Michael Barrymore are a couple of the villains they feature... I wonder if they have a JS in there?

It would be a shame for it to close though as it's so English...Maybe one of the Dragons will take it on... I'd love to know what Duncan Bannatyne would think of this one!

More tomorrow...
