Wimborne Model Town, situated on the edge of the town of Wimborne Minster, Dorset, England, is one of the largest and most established model towns in England. It depicts Wimborne at the time it was originally made in the 1950s and captures the essence of a typical market town of rural England at that time. The concrete model, built at 1/10 scale, features 120 buildings including 108 shop fronts and a 15ft (5m) high Minster. The shop windows accurately show the goods the shops were selling in the post war years.
The Muru children were given quizzes that challenged them to find different items, shops and features. Below Liam counts the number of loaves of bread for one of his questions. We spent a couple of hours finding the answers it was way cool.

When they completed all the questions they handed it back to the ladies in the shop and were rewarded with a bag of sweets.
