There's something very quaint and British about the way we vote, trudging dutifully in the drizzle towards church halls, primary schools and community centres to mark our ballots.

Polling stations are set up all over the country, and some of them have been put in very strange places.

Some are even set up in private residences.

Under the stairs of a house

June Thomas, 73, and husband Graham, 76, have hosted general and local election voting at their home in Winwick, Northants, since 1990.

Residents can cast their votes in a 4ft by 6ft booth under the stairs of the Victorian house, which was the village school until 1947.

It is one of the few remaining private residences used as a polling station and over 70 villagers will descend on the property today (Thurs) between 7am and 10pm.

Gran-of-three June said: "It probably is the smallest polling station because it is just our hallway under our stairs where we keep the broom.

"It sounds quite parochial, but it is run exactly the same way as any other polling station would be run.
