It's A Small World




The Model Village,
West Cliff, Ramsgate,
Dorset.

It's all a bit wonky and olde worlde, but absolutely marvellous. No wonder the kids are so enthralled. The model village opened in 1953 but closed fifty years later due to falling visitor numbers and persistent vandalism by twats. Happily, many of the buildings and figures were relocated to other model villages, including Bekonscot and Merrivale in Great Yarmouth.
