Is this Britain's spookiest street? Couple transform home in ghoulish Halloween graveyard

This could be Britain’s most spook-tacular house... and it’s bang in the middle of Salford.

Paul Beck, 51, and his partner David Ball, 61, have painstakingly transformed their ordinary terraced house into a ghoul-filled graveyard.

Their home on Sumner Road, in the city’s Irlams o’ Th’ Height area, has become a unlikely tourist spot... with locals and passers-by now beating a path to inspect the display.

Turning their home into the ‘Hells Gate Cemetery’ took the couple just under three days, although they began planning and buying materials for the ghoulish makeover as early as March.

Paul and David are using their daring decorations to raise money for Salford by the Sea, a holiday camp that takes disadvantaged kids from Salford on a holiday in north Wales.

Halloween is their favourite holiday and Paul and David had been decorating their house for years, each year adding more and more details.

Paul said:

Last year they collected a hair-raising £830 and they hope to raise even more this year for a great cause.

Paul added:

Although the decorations completely cover their garden as well as the neighbouring houses, they save money by buying them from car boot sales and building everything themselves meaning 2017 has been their cheapest year yet.

Paul, who works as a joiner, builds the structures while David, who is retired, paints everything and adds the special effects.

Luckily for them, their neighbours have been incredibly supportive of the decorating and bring their kids down to enjoy the spooky spectacle.

Paul said:

The halloween extravaganza will be up until November 1, and visitors to the house are asked to pop some money into the donation box at the front of their garden.
