The Berkshire Milking Byre is part of David Winter’s Shires collection. This is a series of 12 pieces that capture life in the English ‘shires’ (early rural counties). Each piece in the series includes Andrew Stadden’s metal figurines, which enhance the character of each cottage.

This particular cottage shows a milkmaid milking a cow as two men approach her from different directions. It was issued in 1992 and retired in 1995.

This cottage measures 2.25” tall by 3.5” wide and comes in the original box with certificate of authenticity. You will see from the rear photo that there is a small chip to the lower right corner of the roof.
