| Tinker |
| This tinker family,
of Irish descent, have travelled the same
roads and bridle paths as their forefathers
for many years. Although a happy band of travellers,
it is not a romantic nor idyllic lifestyle.

| Soldier |
| Welcome to the
'old soldiers' home'! Fashioned from materials
scavenged from derelict army barracks, and
decorated with numerous 'war trophies', it
is home to a handful of old 'comrades in arms'.
(Height: 13.5cm) |

|
| Sailor |
| On a windy-swept
beach, amongst the sand dunes, dwells our
'old sea dog'. His favourite book is David
Copperfield, in which a family lived in an
upturned boat, thus explaining the peculiar
appearance of his own home. (Height: 12.5cm) |
|
| Tailor |
| With its chimney
built from cotton reels, shirt-sleeve tower
with cuff shaped turret, complete with cuff
links, and the decorative stitch detail on
the thatch - this is, naturally, a tailor's
house. (Height: 18.5cm) |

Country.
