First some background information obtained from Edward Grimble :
“The company Grimble & Son Ltd is started in 1886 by John Grimble.
He was mentioned as a carpenter in the St. James, Northall, Parish register.
John Grimble started the company at his address at Orchard Road, where he had a workplace and did carpenters work for the local community. These works could vary from trimming a cart up to making a shed. His company grow out to a building contractors and merchants firm. He opened a warehouse at Anchor Street (now Dock Road) in 1897.
Charles Grimble and his brother Frederick took over the firm in 1927. In 1955 his brother Frederick is leaving the firm. Charles son Edward is joining the firm and the firm’s name is from that time on: Grimble & Son Ltd.
In 1959 they decided to build a new warehouse to have better access with road goods vehicles. The warehouse at Dock Road is now still in use for storage but will be closed when the new warehouse is totally finished.
The company is at present involved by the renovation of Northall’s second war damage.”
Model:
The building is built in my useable way. Using a picture as a reference and searching for textures on the internet. Creating the textures in Publisher, save them as PDF and printing on the highest quality.
Brickwork is from Scalescenes.
The warehouse needs absolute some weathering and a roof. I’m considering some metal roofing.
Now I have finished all the fronts and having received my missing figure from Dart Casting I can start finishing the interior of the warehouse. I also can go on with finishing the road in front of the warehouses.
Regards,
