AFTER years of occasional public appearances and storage in a shed, a splendid scale model of Winchester in 1870 now has a permanent home.

It is on permanent display at Intech, the interactive technology centre at Morn Hill.

The 1:333 scale model was created over many years by retired county council worker Roger Brown.

Mr Brown hopes to incorporate a lighting display to highlight different aspects of Winchester's history.

The model shows how much the city has changed - the county council offices and Brooks Centre were distant dreams.

Yet swathes of the city - especially around the cathedral and college - have barely altered.
