Lead Garden Series (1 Viewer)

[Gazza]

I went to Bletchley Park – Home of the Code Breakers – over the Easter weekend. It really is a fascinating place and there is a Home Front section where someone has displayed a considerable range of WB’s old soldiers and civilian figures.

There is also a Toy Museum which had a further selection of toy soldiers – again mainly WB and these I'll post in a separate thread under Bletchley Park.

Below are some of the pictures from the Lead Garden Series which in the museum are described as being at the ‘pinnacle of the lead toy makers art’ !!!

Cheers

These WB were also displayed in the Home Front museum.

Later today or tomorrow under the Bletchley Park thread I'll post some pictures from the Toy Museum. There they have lots of toy soldiers - the bulk were WB
