I’ve been asked to make a lost shop. A much love I’ve been asked to make a lost shop. A much loved family-run business in the centre of Macclesfield from 1826 to 1968. ‘Hadfield’ was a Drysalter shop; an unusual combination of chemist, wine store and agricultural supplier. The business still exists today @hadfield.since1755 but in a new location.
To help me out with the window display I asked the brilliant 3D printing service @modelu3d to make me lots of tiny bottles. Now I’ve got everything from Claret to Cognac to put in the shop.

Just starting a new project which continues the th Just starting a new project which continues the theme of lost buildings. I’ve recently built historic reconstruction models of a lost 13th century castle and a 1930s country home destroyed by fire. This next commission is to construct a model of a much loved family-run shop which stood in the centre of Macclesfield from 1826 until 1968. ‘Hadfield’ was a Drysalter shop; an unusual combination of chemist, wine store and agricultural supplier. The business still exists today @hadfield.since1755 but in a new location. The owners have asked me to make this architectural model using only a few rare old photos as reference. From these images I was able to create an exact scale drawing of the façade, and now I’m beginning on the model. Starting small (as I mean to go on I suppose), I spent the day making the iconic pestle and mortar hanging sign. More progress pictures to follow.. #lostbuildings #historichomes #lostplaces #macclesfield #modelhouses #architecturelovers

The final touch for my larger models is the amazin The final touch for my larger models is the amazing hand made vitrine case. It hardly looks like the glass is there at all! This is a sample of some work from the last 12 months all beautifully presented in cases made by the superbly talented Jamie Hawkins @hawkinsframing
