Cheshire Models

Cheshire models opened its doors in 1988. Formally an insurance brokerage, the shop was gutted and "remodelled" to become a modellers Aladdin's cave.

Having worked in the toy/model trade for 11 years before and seeing a gap in the market for a true model shop, the aim was to fill that gap with all the goodies modellers like, and need after their initial purchase.

So, the idea was born and all I had to do was to put it into action, could a woman be a model shop owner? I hope you will visit and see.

With a lot of help and support from very good friends to who I will be forever grateful I opened on September 1988.
