🏙️Ever wondered what life would be like as a Bekonscot resident?

Step inside High Shrunkham Junction, our 1930s railway station where you’ll find yourself the very same size as the villagers who call Bekonscot home!

Peer out of the station windows and you’ll spot giant children staring in, amazed by your tiny world. While you’re there, why not dress up in the guard’s uniform and try your hand at signalling the trains as they arrive and depart from the station?

🎹Some deliveries are easier than others . . .

The hardworking team at A.H. Tripps & Sons seem to have found themselves in a very familiar situation in the village and if the scene looks a little like Laurel and Hardy delivering a piano, that’s no accident.

Thankfully, at Bekonscot, the staircase is only a few inches high.
