English Village Designs

Cheers Philip!
Thanks for sharing this very pretty model.

I can almost visualize this cottage as the centerpiece for a diorama with the Time Team digging up the back garden.

Archaeology in your backyard!

It puts the fun back in card
(where it belongs!)

Looking at Phillip's first entry in this thread triggered a memory so into my stacks I went and found my stash of Anne Hoskins's village designs. I have four individual pieces, a windmill, village store and Post Office,Stone Cottage and farmstead. The Stone cottage and school are single sheets, the others take up two sheets. And then there is a collection of six further models, all comprising of seven pieces per model, a thatched cottage, village house,White Swan Inn, Manor House, Country Church and the village shop and Post Office.
The dates range from 1985 through 1998.The address given is ; The New House, Wokingham Road, Hurst, Berks RG100RU and a telephone 0ii8 934 1183. All models are 1/72 with a note on the six models that the "Average door height is 23mm". Hope all this is helpful.

That's a nice collection, Derek: all unknown to me. Do you intend making them one day? I'd love to see them built.

Hi Philip, Well you have built the Manor House...As to my own intentions it is possible they will inhabit an intended 009 gauge layout along with the Kellogg village buildings , some Superquik kits, maybe a few Fiddler's Green and whatever else may come my way. At present the directors (!) of the Little Wobbleigh and Much Dithering Railway are about to start on their version of the Bridge on The River Kwai, a project that has some dubious shenanigans associated with it....
