    Does anyone remember Land Of The Little People?

    I had my photo taken there (late 1950s) with Harry Corbett and Sooty - Harry was doing summer season at the Floral Hall and earned extra money in the daytime doing photos for a shilling. They obviously had to be developed (B&W) and posted to you.

    Yes, remember it well! Lovely place to take the children to and fascinating for adults. Pity there has never been anything to take its place. The best 'model village' is now in Hamburg, Germany, but this obviously does not reflect the 'British' way of life.

    I did too in the 1960's!

    Celebrity obviously went to my parents heads-cannot think why they paid for it as Mr C looks suspiciously engaged in restraining my panic stricken pose for the photo.
