  Little Forge-1983
     
  Little Market 19831993
     
  Little Mill (Version 1)-1980
   This is the first version of Little Mill. Because Version 1 is so different to Version 2 it is best to treat them as 2 separate cottages - even though they have the same name. Early releases were named "The Little Mill". 
     
  Little Mill (Version 2)19801983
   This is the second version of Little Mill. Because Version 2 is so different to Version 1 it is best to treat them as 2 separate cottages - even though they have the same name. Early releases were named "The Little Mill". 
     
  Market Street19831996
     
  Mill House (Version 1)-1980
   David's first ever cottage. Soon after its release this piece was replaced by an entirely different version with the same name. Because Version 1 is so different to Version 2 it is best to treat them as 2 separate cottages - even though they have the same name. Version 1 of Mill House was never restyled. However, examples have been seen where the vertical wooden beam, under the bottom right window, is missing. 
     
  Mill House (Version 2)-1983
   This is the second version of Mill House. Because Version 2 is so different to Version 1 it is best to treat them as 2 separate cottages - even though they have the same name. 
     
  Quayside -1985
   Very early pieces were painted with much softer colours than the later versions which have a bolder style. 
     
  Rose Cottage19831996
   This piece had one of the longest production run of all the cottages. Being a very typical "chocolate box" cottage it is a very simple but attractive cottage making it one of the most popular of David's work. 
     
  Three Ducks Inn-1983
   Various colour variations exist. Some have tan roofs. Others have grey roofs and some have both tan and grey roofs.

  Chichester Cross-1981
   Cast in resin with 3 colour variations - Stone White, Stone Grey and Sandstone Buff. A Cold-Cast Bronze version was also produced and is believed to be limited to just six pieces. Being very rare this piece is highly sought after and examples in perfect condition are virtually unheard of. 
     
  Cornish Cottage -1986
   Very early pieces had "Created in Cornwall by David Winter" on the Base Label and were slightly larger. Various colour variations exist. Most common have light grey walls and a black roof. Some though have much darker walls. 
     
  Double Oast-1982
   Different materials were used for the wind vanes for Single Oast and Triple Oast (Crystacal, resin, metal and then plastic). Double Oast should only have Crystacal vanes. These can be determined by them having a grooved (wood grain) finish on one side (intended for the front) and being completely smooth and flat on one side (the back). Plastic has a circular moulding mark on one side and the metal is cool to the touch. Both the plastic and metal vanes have very regular top and bottom humps. Examples with replica vanes have also been seen.

  St Paul's Cathedral-1982
   This cottage was never restyled but this cottage suffered from a lack of detail and distorted roofs on later examples as moulds deteriorated during its short production run. Some pieces were painted with softer colours. Others have a bolder style. A special wrap-around sleeve was produced, to commemorate the wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer on the 29th July 1981, for the box.
