Rose Cottage, The Cliffs, Cheddar
Grade II Listed early 19th century cottage previously Cheddar Toy and Model Museum, the pink south wing containing Cheddar Models. In 2015 sales particulars it was described as “The interior space offers some 1,473 sq.ft. of floor space and requires total renovation. It is divided into the residential area which is two storey – some floors are missing. The shop premises are single storey and have been modernised with sash windows and new rendered walls and a separate door onto the street”. The museum opened in May 1996 under the famous Lion Rock. In August 2011 the museum website was offering the business for sale and by June 2012 its website was reporting it closed. The building appears to have sold in May 2015 and in January 2020 it was reported Listed Building Consent had been granted for renovation work. A search of my directories only locates one entry for Rose Cottage, 1914 Miss Sarah Stephens, refreshment rooms, Rose Cottage, Cliff Road. From what I can make out there seems to be no business here in the 1890s but in the 1920s and 1940s photos seem to show a shop.
