For example, many if not most seasoned modellers, will either through their work or leisure visits, been to other parts of the UK. In my own case, if I visited Oxford, time and a little persuasion to my CEO, would always take me to 'Howes Models'. Now, thanks to the updates and map info, I can see it is sadly no longer there. Visiting a new area, at least the map suggests what might be (or might have been), the local model emporium. Thanks Michael for your efforts. Slightly ironically, if you had Googled Howes Models, you would see that they are very much still in existence, but have just moved out of the city centre.

Andy Stephenson Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Howes Models moved out of the centre of Oxford some decades ago to the suburb of Kidlington, however they have moved from the location shown on the map to the industrial area a little further away...
