How much character these old building have is just great. It's a pitty that we don't find any around, although they must be out there. Together with the old lead and hollowcast animals, horse and cart and period implements really takes us all back to our real childhood and to our Granddad's time, when farming was farming and life was hard but good. I've nearly got a tear in my eye now!  :'(

hi , yes that is a hugar building as they were based at epsom in surrey , they also built the models for britains in 1939 and this could easily be a variation on the mansard barn 103f which i have seen in this style listed as britains , just because the label doesnt say britains does not mean that it isnt as hugar were the sub contractors for all the 1939 buildings and possibly the post war 500f buildings .

there is also an even rarer set of wooden buildings built in 1959 and listed under britains acorn range , again none of these are marked britains they are ULTRA rare .

Some lovely buildings there Andy.

Is the papier mache cottage 1/32? it looks a little bit like the Lilliput ones.

Is it about 9" to 9.5" long, 4.5" to 5" wide and 6" tall plus the stubby chimney? Are the windows and doors stickers/decals?

It looks like an updated version of 44F with some of the timber framing removed and a hip roof added at the other end, so post war?

Its definitely not liliput.

We were told that both versions were later variations, and slightly harder to find ???
