We headed north for a weekend in County Durham in mid November for Brick Alley’s Shildon Brick Show 2024.
Shildon Brick Show is hosted at Locomotion museum, the event has been running since 2015 or so, and showcases models by LEGO fan builders across the UK, as well as a range of activities and a marketplace of traders.

More of William Henry Fox Talbot, a pioneer of photography, in the Brick Alley collaborative “Famous Brits” build this year – the background representing camera film is superb, and the use of the printed parts from LEGO’s recent camera set in lovely too!
