Mary Andrews, 35, bought the end-of-terrace Victorian house in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, in January and was told the building at the bottom of the back garden was an old brick shed.
David Johnson, from Chatteris in Fenland, said his company DMJ-Imagery would shut in April after demand for his services "dried up" over the last 12 months ... "Living in the Fens, there's not a lot of money around," he said ... .
Chatteris made headlines last year when its local floristry group had a dispute with Cambridgeshire County Council, which told it to hire a contractor or attend a £165 safety course to continue putting up displays on its streetlights.
