A man from Long Lee has created an entire miniature village in his garden.

Brian Shackleton, of Long Lee Lane, enjoys model-making and has spent the last two years creating the tiny village.

It features all types of buildings. including a chemist shop, post office, church, school, farm and a pub -- The Long Lee Arms.

He says: "It started as an interesting hobby -- something to get me through the winter.

"I call it Long Lee, but I did it all from my own head and my own ideas.

"It just took off and kept growing."

Brian says his grandchildren love playing with the model village.

The shops feature tiny appropriate products in their windows.

The buildings are made of stone and Brian says: "My brother helped with the materials, it's all Yorkshire stone."

Brian has no plans to expand the village and says: "I've gone as far as I can go with this as there isn't any more room in my garden."
