Every time I drive through the village of Flore in Northamptonshire, I think I really must stop and take a photo of the old workshops on the high street. Of course, I never do as I'm on my way somewhere or heading back home. Thank goodness for Streetview which allows me to do this from the comfort of my computer.
A mix of corrugated iron with flaking paint, wood and brick, they are probably less than popular with local residents but for modellers, what a gem! I'm sure that this sort of scene could be fitted in on all sorts of model railway layouts.
If this doesn't appeal, how about this terrace further along the street? Nice square buildings with no complicated curved windows. Ideal scratchbuilder fodder methinks.A few minutes counting bricks should furnish a plan which could lead to some pleasant time with cardboard and plasticard.
