Scale Model of First West Melton Cottage
To help mark last year's West Melton 150th Anniversary, Ian Sanford built a scale model of the first West Melton Cottage in our area.
Today at our assembly, he presented it to West Melton School.
The cottage is a replica of the one built by Henry Trickett, the founder of West Melton.
The original cottage was built of rammed earth and straw, with walls around 600mm thick. This cottage also has a genuine brass tap!!
Thank you Ian, we certainly appreciate your fantastic model.
