It's been an obsession ever since I had a part-time job at the Bekonscot Model Village in Buckinghamshire as a child.

5. The site was due to be flattened, but before the bulldozer arrived Tim and his brother got permission to photograph the tiny buildings and rescue them from the undergrowth.
There are even model villages built in private gardens. Some are complete worlds of their own, with made-up languages and architectural styles for their inhabitants.
