  • Dumped sofa in village becomes unexpected tourist attraction<br>An art project centered around an abandoned sofa in Lydbrook, Gloucestershire. A dumped sofa in the middle of a village has become an unexpected tourist attraction - with hundreds taking photos at the spot. The two-seater settee was dumped on a waste ground in the middle of Lydbrook, Gloucestershire, at the start of April. But local photographer Alex Elton-Wall found potential in the sofa and its location - and has now taken the portraits of more than 150 nearby residents at the popular site. The abandoned sofa even has its own listing on TripAdvisor and a Facebook page titled Lydbrook Lounge with visitors posting photographs of themselves.
