A PLASTIC dummy is coming out of retirement after years in a gloomy barn to appear at a shop in Evesham. 

After spending many years in a fashion shop in Worthing, Esmeralda the shop dummy retired to a gloomy barn in Eckington.

But she is now picking up her 'modelling' career in Evesham.

Esmeralda will now appear at a Salvation Army charity shop in Bridge Street. 

Her carer Colin Reeves has asked people to stop by and see her. 

Mr Reeves said: "I've been told to stop humanising her - it is just a large lump of pink plastic."
