50 Years of Wonderland
50 Years of Wonderland
Lothian Road institution Wonderland Models celebrates 50 years of trading this year. The family favourite was founded in 1972 by clothing retailer Peter Barton, who saw a gap in Edinburgh’s retail landscape for a specialist model shop. The business has endured all of the ups and downs of the British high street, developing into one of the largest online model retailers in the UK.
