Lakeland Studios |
|
The Bossons sculptor Alice Brindley did freelance work for 'Lakeland Studios' from 1997 to 1999 after she left the Bossons company. The 'Lakeland Studio' heads weighed more than Bossons models and the detail is not as crisp.
Around the same time Alice also started 'A B Sculpture Studios' with her daughter Jackie making character heads in Resin. Alice sculpted and Jackie painted models which included various Seamen (Maritime Collection), Napoleon & Josephine and a different Sherlock Holmes character |

The following is a list of who sculpted the Lakeland Studio pieces as kindly supplied by Adrian Southwell
There was to be another brochure made when six more pieces were added to the range but this was never produced. This means the beefeater and bobby were not on a brochure. There was direct contact with Alice after Bossons closed down which continued for the life of Lakeland Studios. The date stamps on the pieces indicate that production carried on at Lakeland until 1999. Adrian Southwell left in 1999 to work for Lilliput Lane. Shortly after this Lakeland Studios closed down.
