Little Muddle

[Mick Bonwick]

We've just completed a whole page with only one post that involves actual modelling.

[KNP]

Thanks for all your comments, my preferred option is one door.

[Limpley Stoker]

A late vote for outward opening, based on this snippet from Mr Google.  Leaving one door open would be a reassuring sign for those without a watch or clear sight of the church clock. Unfortunately the crew of the Misty would not see this without climbing up the mast.

Right then.

Left door closed and right hand door open.

Whilst debate going on finished lead covered flat roof

That roof looks so good somebody might steal it for the lead!

 

Any signs of a recent ‘pavement pizza’ on the paving outside?

Yep, I keep the roof locked up indoors for this very reason.......

 

Still deciding what to do, I have an idea of flags from the door to the road and then the rest gravel.

Bench seats to the walls and a couple of wrought iron tables with chairs and then of course one mustn't forget the pictorial sign and post...

Decided not to comment on the pavement pizza until I had checked that my understanding of it was correct....no there will not be any but I might put some horse droppings on the road as discussed by Mikkel....!

[KNP]

This is what I have in mind.

 

 

 

[Limpley Stoker]

Sorry to lower the tone!

 

Don't forget to leave space outside for bikes as car ownership wasn’t so common in the 30’s, and drinking was much more of an indoor male occupation!

Solid doors I see.

No porch either!!!

[KNP]

Other thing to note and I must remember is that the signing is minimal not the mass that I was used to doing in the 90’s.....!!!!

[Oldddudders]

Given the Little Muddle record with opening doors to date, vide the engine shed, I do not feel this will end well.

It'll all hinge on it staying on the hinges....as they say?

[Siberian Snooper]

Can I suggest a visit to either the Bridge in at Topsham, near Exeter, Devon or the Seymour Arms at Witham near Frome in Somerset,  both are/were family run pubs that have been in the family for a century or so and since I visited either establishment appeared not to have changed for a very long time. My last visits were last century.

 

 

[Benbow]

Now this is NOT a criticism but an observation. Given that LM is in the '30s is the pub in danger of beginning to look a bit like a modern gastro pub? I seem to think that pubs in the '30s were very much male dominated drinking establishments with perhaps a bench outside but probably not tables and chairs but I am most likely wrong! 

 

[KNP]

Landscaping now, remaking road levels to new courtyard entrance.

Must stop now so the DAS has time to dry.....

 

 

 

[John Besley]

Have got interior lighting.... would look superb with a yellow flickering 60watt bulb in there

[Limpley Stoker]

 And an irritating shovelling sound?

That'll be round the corner, behind the horse.

Well I hope they've at least changed the barrel, bet the prices have!

Yes likely right, might a trough for watering horses still be a feature that could be used as a seat for a few drinkers enjoying the sun? 
 

 Fair few pictures here that show just a plain front area, possibly where things such as troughs used to be when they were used by travellers on horses?

 

or some iron railings like here?
