Mar. 27 Another village rises at Halewood. Farhand works on his unique models.: Mr. Alfred Bate a farmhand of a Church Road, Halewood, near Liverpool has been a very busy man for the past twelve months for he is constructing a village - within - a village. In the back garden of his home - Mr. Bate is constructing a complete model village - entirely from stone. So far the village has its inn, two cottages and a beautiful church, constructed entirely in marble - a replica of the famous marble church near St. Asaph, in North Wales. It is built from scraps of marble left over by a monumental mason, but each piece has been fashioned into a little brick, and each brick, of which there are some hundreds, have been cemented together to form the Church. It even has stained glass windows - which are actually lantern slides - out to shape - with religious scenes on them. The village is being laid but in the garden - complete with a miniature stream - rustic bridge etc. Photo shows view of the unique models which form part of the village - the bridge - Inn and Cottage. The centre piece will be the fine St. Asaph Church model
