Inside the UK’s ‘poshest’ corner shop - where a bottle of milk costs £2.10
and live on Freeview channel 276
An American social media tycoon renovating an English village has turned the local store his great-great grandfather built into the UK’s “poshest corner shop”. Michael Birch made his fortune by helping set-up several social networking sites including Bebo - which he sold in 2008 for $850 million.
He has since been spending his cash buying buildings and land in Woolsery in north Devon, where some of his family are from and he visited as a boy. Birch and his wife have already bought the local pub, fish and chip shop, manor house, several properties as well as 90 acres of farmland.
