Lilliput Lane Cottages From Preshunt.com (uk)
Lilliput Lane cottages are the world’s definitive resin cottage collection. Originally developed as a competitor to David Winter cottages, the collection has since surpassed all competition and overwhelmed all plagiarism attempts. Each model is adapted or based on a real cottage or building and after extensive research a model is then approved. Constant manufacturing development has also improved the process and detail or these miniatures work of art.
Lilliput Lane are all hand made and painted in the UK and emphasis has been placed on quality rather than quantity. It has long been recognised the inverse relationship between volume and collectability so that the more readily an item is available, the less collectable the item becomes. Thus, Lilliput Lane have always valued the importance of regular introductions and retirements along with strict worldwide limited editions. Essentially, the continued success of the range has been to strike the right balance between supply and demand. Due to these factors, the economic advantages for outsourcing to the Far East has been avoided. The collection remain popular and highly collectable with a strong emphasis on the secondary market for collectors.
To meet the needs of these collectors, it was inevitable that a club would be required. The Lilliput Lane Collectors Club is now over twenty years old, and during its life has had the pleasure of welcoming many thousands of new members from all over the world. The club is run by a team of specially trained staff, available during working hours to answer all queries, such as where cottages can be bought, how they are made, where the ideas for new cottages originate, almost everything you wish to know.
For even more fun, you can see a life size Lilliput Lane Cottage! A visit to Skirsgill in the Lake District, the home of Lilliput Lane Cottages draws thousands of visitors a year. On arrival the collector will receive a warm welcome in the specially constructed Honeysuckle Cottage; a phenomenal building which is a miniature cottage ‘in reverse’. Instead of being the model of a life sized cottage, it’s an authentic full sized version of a miniature cottage. It took almost a year to build, being finally completed in the summer of May 1995, using genuine building materials. It is surrounded by beautiful, manicured gardens and inside the entire current collection of Lilliput Lane Cottages is on view, as well as a display of retired cottages. Having admired this cottage ‘museum’, a tour can be taken of the studios to see how the world’s favourite cottages are made.
The quintessentially British nature of the cottages has been the hallmark of the collection and they serve as ideal gifts for the foreign visitor. Home collectors have the opportunity to collect and visit all the places they have collected.

One Lilliput Lane Cottage close to the hearts of Preshunt.com is situated in their home town of Telford. Limited edition ‘Coalbrookdale’, or more accurately, Ironbridge which is situated just South of Coalbrookdale features the world’s first cast iron bridge – an icon of the birth of the Industrial Revolution. It has remained a popular tourist attraction since it was officially opened in 1781, and is now part of the UNESCO Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site. The model is illuminated by LEDs to highlight the bridge and surrounding buildings. This is a fine example for Lilliput Lane collectors and will make a great day out for those who visit the area.
