New Lilliput Lane Cottages…Our Highlights!
Handmade and hand-painted in Great Britain,
Lilliput Lane continues to bring you the very best that
our architectural heritage has to offer. As a taster of what
is available in this catalogue, here, we’ve selected just
four of the new pieces from the June 2015 introductions,
each offering different gift and collecting solutions:
Gateway to York — inspired by York’s famous Micklegate
Bar — is the perfect cultural celebration, given this year’s Richard III celebrations — the last Yorkist king!
For those north of the border, Mushroom Cottage is as cute as a button…mushroom! It’s inspired by a
‘play’ cottage in the grounds of Mellerstain House Estate — one of Scotland’s finest stately homes.
Railway and film enthusiasts will love Passing Through and Snowed in at Oakworth, limited editions
inspired by Oakworth Railway Station, near Keighley in West Yorkshire — on the branch line made
famous by its appearance in the 1970 film The Railway Children.
Finally, as the name suggests, our festive Christmas Hamper is a well-known deli from Helmsley,
West Yorkshire — the perfect Christmas present, as are any of our latest snowed cottages! These are our
highlights — now, be sure to flick through the following pages to find yours!
Limited Editions
Passing Through features the station
in summertime, whilst Snowed in
at Oakworth features the station in
winter, when heavy snow has stopped
the train’s journey.

community fire station.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE, SOUTH WEST

flower display is much photographed.

NORTH YORKSHIRE, NORTH EAST & YORKSHIRE
Height: 8.0cm Length: 8.0cm

most famous.
L3766 CORFE CASTLE
DORSET, SOUTH WEST
Height: 8.0cm Length: 7.0cm

Height: 10.0cm Length: 12.5cm
Inspired by The Old House
Museum, Hereford, on St Peter’s

service is still held here once a year.

best things do come in small packages!
L3759 TWICE AS NICE
SURREY, SOUTH EAST
Height: 7.0cm Length: 10.0cm

Handmade in Great Britain
1. Each and every Lilliput Lane miniature is completely
hand crafted by our skilled artists in Langholm, in the
borders of Scotland.
2. The cottages are based on real buildings and many
collectors enjoy touring the country lanes in search of
the actual houses.
3. From photographs, the internet and sketches, up to forty
different processes then follow to produce a complex series
of moulds from the original sculpture. There is no room
for error, as the original wax sculpture is lost during the
the process!
4. Every tile, slate and flower is individually applied by hand
to build up the different textures and details.
5. Flexible silicone-rubber moulds are used to cast faithful
replicas of the wax original in a specially licensed material
called Amorphite™. Once this has set, the moulds can then
be carefully peeled away to reveal every last detail on the
cast model.
6. After being sealed and dried once again, the model passes
to one of our painters.
7. Up to thirty different colourways can be tried and
checked for authenticity before a master version is chosen
for each cottage.
8. Every skilled painter has to match each of the models they
paint to the master version, to ensure that each is consistent.
9. Finally, cottages are baized and labelled, before a final
quality check ensures that they leave Lilliput Lane in
perfect condition.
No seconds are ever kept; if they do not
pass our strict quality checks, then they
are destroyed.
