Charlton Street Houses - Lawrence Hill Junction

[barrowroad]

The time has come to add some scenery at the Lawrence Hill Junction end of the layout. The rear of the properties in Charlton Street run parallel to the railway and I have made models of the backs of numbers 2, 3 4,5 and 6 Charlton Street and the Christian Brethren Chapel and Hall.
All these buildings are scratch built from plasticard using scale model scenery windows and Modelu guttering products.

The following photo showing numbers 5,6,and 7 together with part of the chapel proved invaluable.

Here are a few photos of the buildings.

Apologies for the duplicate - I tried to remove it without success.

I think you might need to do a 'bit of weathering' Robin. Coming along nicely though.

Dear Robin

Where did you get the shot of Lady Godiva against the chapel (!) - This loco is on my 'list' to model

Very nostalgic even though I only got to walk around the area aftyer the shed was flattened

kind regards, Peter

Hi John, Thanks for your comments but the buildings are weathered but it doesn't show up very well in the photos.
This is a Pre-weathering shot for comparison.
