Context (Other)
This model cottage appears on the 1947 loan list of French Prisoner-of-War material sent on permanent loan to Peterborough Museum (GO3/1/10). It is noted as having 'No Number', as were several other objects, but it is not clear whether they had never been accessioned into the museum's collection before being transferred or had lost their accession number. See Loan File for more details.
