Lots more of the Tudor building easier to see here too   .....    There are lots of outside Restaurant tables are down the street the other side of the Flowers.

Lovely reference I'll check this one out for some ideas.If your passing again when the market is on a picture from the front would be lovely.

I think it must vary quite a bit depending where you go   …….   :scratchhead:

 

 

Salisbury has tried to maintain it’s older buildings and puts the modern shops inside.  It is pretty easy too see what age they were built in.  There are, of course, some modern exceptions in gaps that were formed with zero choice offered to the population about 69 – 74 years ago.  Most places here are this sort of age and a number a couple of centuries later..............

The Centre of Salisbury still has it’s Market in the Square twice every week.  This Sat view shows the Market Square, with the Market people's Stands/Stalls. and at the Southern edge lots of tables can just be made out.  The next street Southwards has another row of outdoor tables too, on the other side of the run-through Restaurants.  There is a fashion here whereby people do use the outdoor tables and they have cover from the rain in the form of umbrellas and Gazebos, which can be made out on the South edge of the square.

There are several other locations, in other Salisbury streets and Squares, with outdoor tables around, like the High St here  ……  where more can just be made out surrounded by red wind breaks further along   …  The buildings are pretty much all old here too ...  many of the older ones are further along and can just be made out, by their wooden beams,

It seems that people here really value the older ways, but how long they can hold out for I am not sure  ….    But it is very pleasant while they do…..    :sungum:  :sungum:

I like the pale green colour on the last picture. I having a resign building in progress....but am considering doing scaffolding for a shop front as well. I have a couple of duplicates which would be good for this idea.

Hello Jaz

Must say the town is starting to look impressive with all those buildings. By the time you've worked your usually magic with the PIR I'm sure it will look stunning. Don't envy you doing all those paving slabs though.

One thing, I never knew Salisbury had such a lovely original town centre. Got off at the station loads of times on Charters etc but never ventured into the town. Must correct that next time I go.

Have you also noticed how the second third or even fourth floors are so out of sync on the windows. The models I thought were poor because the windows often don't match in height, but actually that is how it is in real life. Those between the first and second floor often being quite different.

 

Reference pictures NOT of Louth

There are numerous ready to plonk shops that are representations of the real thing....

 

Hornby Skaledae had a real liking for shops in Louth.

And though some are more like the real thing than others. They continue to improve their product.

And earliest version...this may even be a new shop from and the other from a dated photograph....

Robinson of Louth doe not appear to be a matched building!!!

51fcb9Q70LL._SX300_.jpgbut if you look at the right hand door and consider it replaced by a window, and ignore the upstairs windows H Robinson is not a bad match.

Picture, below, with one Pub behind and another in sight on the left of the picture  ……   you don’t get many places with 2 Pubs and only a couple of dozen houses   ……  

A place familiar to Kal & Jaz   .....   if they can remember after visiting the hostelries :jester:   ............    the one on the left of the picture used to have the best Home-made hot Pork Pies EVER!  ....    :danced:

………    turned left out of the black door there and walked down the street     …..   there were 2 nice old American ladies just in front
“Gee Winifred, these places look just so beautiful.  Why don’t we have any places like this back home?”
…..    Couldn’t resist, I’m afraid    …….
“That, Madam, would be because Americans simply haven't been around for long enough.”  ……..    :jester:  :jester:

I have a Pub, a Restaurant and a farmhouse, amongst a few buildings here.  They sit together as background to a couple of Locos.  They look like they are all 3 different scales - totally different - but they are all the same scale, same manufacturer, but represent different eras  ....   so were built to cater for different weather, and different people sizes    ..........

KNowing that doesn't stop it looking a bit odd though   .......    :scratchhead:
