An Offer not to be missed!! Would you like to view a delightful collection of dolls' house miniatures? - rooms and shops depicting by-gone times, stories, nursery rhymes, seasons and so much more! The owners, Judith and Laurence, have generously offered to show the collection to small groups of 2/3 people. As this is a private collection there is no charge, but Judith and Laurence support the charity EX-SERVICES MENTAL WELFARE SOCIETY and donations would be much appreciated. The collection is housed on a first floor, so there will be some stairs to climb. Appointments may be made during the Deal Summer Music Festival 2003 from 19 July to 2 August.
