A GOLD-COLOURED cross discovered more than 30 years ago on the former site of a Dorset model town has become a source of mystery.
The cross was found by a visitor to Wimborne Model Town’s former home after the miniature buildings had been moved from behind the Corn Market to King Street.
It was recently returned to model town supporter and contractor Paul Revell. An archive search has not been able to identify the item in situ in the model layout.
Model Town spokesman Greg Hoar said: “Archive pictures do not show this cross in our miniature Minster and although the old site was adjacent to funeral director Charles Small, subsequent enquiries suggest the item is not a coffin adornment.”
The Model Town said it would be very pleased to receive reminiscences about the old site including any possible identification of the cross via email to greghoar@wimborne-modeltown.com , or call 07503699370.
