Roy Page of Green Leys, Badsey, 90 years young, took up a remarkable hobby just a few years ago. In 2017, he began making models out of everyday items destined for the bin. The only cost is for the glue and the paint. It has given him many hours of pleasure to create these models, mainly of vehicles.
Maureen Spinks went to see him in May 2022 to take photos of the models. Take a trip down memory lane to see some of the models with familiar names from the heyday of market gardening.
