The original clubhouse was begun in July 1853 and completed in June of the next year for use by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club and Union Golf Club.
The imposing sandstone building is a basic H-shape design, with a simple style and uncluttered with tall windows under a low-pitched roof. It was modified over the next 70 years by six architects so that the original building is hardly visible but the outward structure is now recognized worldwide by all golfing enthusiasts.
Our model sits on a wooden base and measures 6 inches long by 3 1/2 inches high.

Possibly the most famous and most visited literary landmark in Britain, this is the house where it is thought that Shakespeare was born and spent his formative years. The house originally belonged to William Shakespeare's father John, who became a successful Stratford businessman. John and Mary Shakespeare moved from nearby Snitterfield to Stratford in 1529, shortly after getting married. It is known from Stratford records that the Shakespeare family were residing in Henley street by 1552 and that William Shakespeare was born in 1564. It is assumed from this collection of dates that this building in Henley Street was William Shakespeare's Birthplace.
Our model is 5 inches long by @ 3 inches high

guard over his master's grave for fourteen years.
