Model Village by fishers

Model Village

Sometimes a walk in the country throws up some very unusual things to see, and our walk from Thornton Dale, on the southern fringe of the North York Moors, produced such a novelty.

The last part of the walk leading back into Thornton Dale was along a very quiet country lane. The first buildings that we came to included one with a model village in the front garden, and this collage shows four scenes from the village.

It appears that many of the buildings were based on local prototypes. The bungalow model, top right, is based on the building in whose garden the model village is found.

Adorable collage. My mother-in-law used to collected similar little models every time she visited England.

@yoland Thank you Yoland. I know the models that you mean. These are rather larger than those - the hall (top right) is almost 1 metre across!

I didn't notice at first that it was a collage - I thought it was one scene! However, they are beautiful shots of these lovely model houses

Lovely model houses, no doubt made with Yorkshire stone. They remind me of my Nanna's house. The stone walls kept her house cosy and warm.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.

I think that whoever created these wonderful models had great fun. At Christmas, the model houses are illuminated, which would be quite an impressive sight!
