Peacock buildings


Recommended Posts

Peacock & Co Ltd, of 3 Adelaide Terrace and 2 Prebend Street, Islington began trading in 1853, and it is believed they first added toy farm buildings to their range of toys in 1927.

 

I'll add more details, and more examples of their range to this thread over time, and hope other members do too.

 

To start, here is some reproduced Peacock adverts from one of Marion Osborne's dolls house reference books, and a photo of a row of three terraced cottages (with Britains lead stable lad to show scale) which appear in the bottom left of the advert.
