On this Day 1986: Gullivers Kingdom burn down their model village
On this Day: November 5th, 1986
One from the Central Television vaults from ’86 as Central News’ Ross Kelly visits the Gullivers Kingdom and Theme Park at Matlock Bath in Derbyshire where they have set fire to their model village as it is no longer required as an attraction.
The report features shots of the once popular model village buildings being put on a bonfire. Ross interviews Fiona Hardwick, Gullivers Kingdom, about how the 5th November was an apt date to burn the models and send them off in flaming style.
