Fisherton Sarum is of course based on the ex LSWR shed at Salisbury (I am sure I might have mentioned that before) and although primarily is all about the shed itself I wanted to incorporate a non railway related scene on the layout. At Salisbury the rear of the water tank building very much towered over and backed directly onto Cherry Orchard Road, although there were some houses on the other side of the road, I moved the road to incorporate some semi detached houses. These houses and gardens are totally freelance and unlike most of the other scratch build structures on the layout are based on a modified Wills Craftsman Kit.
In the back garden of one of the houses the owner tends to his garden whilst in the other a gentleman rests on his bench watching, who we assume is, his wife hanging the washing. At the front of the houses the postman has made a mistake of letting the household’s dog get between him and his bike (the postman’s not the dogs) which he has left leaning up against the railings at the back.
