Hi Helen Anne, Many thanks for your kind comments, my wife is chuffed to bits. Here is a quick history of the doll's house and I am attaching some more photos:- My Stepdaughter bougt it as a kit to make for her little girl but made a hash of it and threw it in the bin. Luckily we visited that day and when my wife (Barbara) heard the story she retrieved it. She then proceeded to spend many hours and hard work redecorating and building it, not to speak of the many pennies she spent on it.
It is kept in the spare bedroom/office and I built a carriage for it so that it can be moved easily from room to room. I also built a switch box to the side and wired it up so that all lights are individually switched (003). The Christmas Tree is decorated and lit at Christmas and the table is laid with turkey and all the trimmings. Visitors who see it are amazed at the detail. The street name on the front says Baker Street and it has been given the number 221. I have also removed the street scene to show the kitchen and scullery and the roof to show the maid's room and storage space in the attic.
