The models have been made from photographs, by Mr Gilbert Tavendale. All were built at the Yaldhurst museum. The celebrations . will begin at noon with a barbecue, and Belfast schoolchildren will sing 1930 s numbers/ Post Office staff will be dressed in 1930 s outfits.
“Nothing like this has been done before,” said Mr Garlick. “The staff wanted, to do it, and I took up the challenge.”
