THATCHWORKS

Tollhouse

In the days of the turnpike, the tollhouse was the bain of the traveller, who resented paying to use the new roads. Frequently they were burned down and the keeper attacked, so designs became more robust. This model (of an actual preserved building) is of a design to withstand such attacks.

This is a simple to assemble model, consisting of just four major circular components, stacked one upon the other, plus windows and door to be inserted into apertures.

Those remaining are now cafes and craft shops. as well as being incorporated into dwellings.

PLEASE NOTE: Photos of assembled and painted models are to illustrate the effects which can be achieved. We supply you with a kit of unpainted components ready for assembly.
