Ashton Models Home Go Back

Why have we closed?

St Petersfield

On 14th August 2004 at around 5:15 p.m. Ashton Models closed the door to customers for the last time.

After 66 years it was not the economic climate that forced us to close but the re-development of our part of the town.

Where we were situated there will soon be a new business centre called St Petersfield.

I decided not to re-locate but to retire to a hopefully less stressful life.

Charlie, Joan, Andrew, Linda, Mavis and myself (Barry) would all like to thank our customers past and present for your support over the last 66 years and hope that we have given you all some small pleasure from our association and your involvement in this great hobby of modelling.
