Britain's smallest shoe shop has been squeezing in customers for the past 25 years despite being a tight fit - at just 3ft (0.9m) wide.
Peter Scott Shoes is based in the village of Woodhall Spa, Lincs., and is so tiny that you can touch both walls while standing in the same place on the shop floor.
At the equivalent width of around three size 11 shoes the business is one of the smallest stores in the country and could well be the narrowest in Britain.
The 169-year-old building used to be a booking office on the platform of the former railway station where trains ran from in the spa town between 1855-1954.
Following the lines closure, it became a number of stores including a funeral directors, bank, auctioneers and a jewellers until it opened as a shoe shop in 1999.

00:00My name's Oliver Salter, the shop is called Peter Scott Shoes, behind what used to be the old railway
00:04station in Woodall Spa, which brings it to a point known as the Woodall Wedge and believed to be
00:10Britain's smallest shoe shop. So at the smallest point it's about three feet across and it widens
00:15out from that. We get about 1200 pairs of shoes in here when I've got it really rammed full.
00:21So the shoe shop opened in 1999 in the widest part of the shop, we didn't actually have the
00:27wedge end and then a little bit later on we moved into the wedge and since then it's carried on.
