I wonder if the model village was ever finished ? according to the clip it would be finished in 1983.

"Long Whittenham" should read Long Wittenham. (Note that county boundary changes mean it's now in Oxfordshire, not Berkshire).
"Roy England" should read Roye England.
"Mr England's wife and daughter" - actually the girl is called Wynne Morris, and not Roye England's daughter.

The museum is still there. See http://www.pendonmuseum.com. If you're in the area, well worth a visit. A modern video can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzDQsZ__DyE

Pendon is a magnificent achievement and a lasting legacy to it's creator Roye England. Well worth a visit for the Dartmoor scene featured in this video plus the main deal - the Vale Scene. It's still not finished yet, but certainly getting there!

Great to see this. Bit of corrective info. The girl is in fact Sandra Morris, Winnie's daughter and my mother.
