Cottages from the mineral mining area of Cumberland
Calbeck Cottages in 1830
These simple cottages are inspired by the homes of labourers who worked in the bobbin mill and mineral mines around the village of Caldbeck in Cumberland. They had a single living room and an upstairs bedroom partially within the loft space. A steep ladder stair connected the two levels.
Fellside Cottage (left) - built in 1830 from the red/grey sandstone of north-eastern Cumberland.
The Howk (right) - built in 1830 and named after the gorge in the village where the local bobbin mill stood. Like Fellside cottage, also built from sandstone but later rendered and painted white.

Caldbeck Cottage
Cottages at Caldbeck
Outside Privy, circa 1830
An earth closet privy available in two styles. Designed to fit alongside the Caldbeck cottages (hence the two styles) but could be used in a variety of other situations. The fitted interior style comes with a fixed wooden seat, an earth bucket and a weathered interior finish.
As there were no facilities inside homes before the late 19th century privies were built outside. Before flush toilets were invented the privy was just a wooden seat with a hole cut into it. Below the hole was a wooden tub, which could be emptied via a door beneath the seat. A bucket containing earth was kept in the privy. This was so a handful of soil could be thrown into the privy to soak up waste and hopefully keep down the smell. Hence the name, earth closet.
Scale: 1/24th
Dimensions: W 7.5 cm, D 21 cm, H 14 cm
Price: - £33
If ordering both cottage and privy at the same time
then both can be provided on a shared base, if wished.

Caldbeck Corner Shop in 1830
A simple corner shop, designed to accompany the Caldbeck cottages. Formerly a cottage in the same style, the ground floor has now been converted into a shop, while upstairs is used for living quarters. Accordingly, the downstairs fireplace has been removed to upstairs. A partition wall has been erected at the back of the shop to provide privacy where the ladder stair rises to the living quarters.
Scale: 1/24th
Dimensions: W 20 cm, D 21 cm, H 30 cm
Total number of rooms: 2
Price: Do-it-yourself interior - £89
