Lott's Bricks Ltd was started by E.A. Lott, and produced simple artificial-stone blocks in reasonably naturalistic colours, in rectangular and wedge shapes from ~1918 onwards. The blocks were stacked without any special pegs or joints, relying on weight and friction to stay together. Roofs were hinged pieces of printed cardboard.

Although early sets were fairly primitive, Lotts expanded the range with sets of special bricks for window pieces or Tudor-style frontages. Lotts continued until 1960, by which time more "modern" plastic systems like Lego had become popular.

The scale of the resulting buildings was designed to match gauge 0 railways and accessories.

In the Museum

The Museum has a "Lotts Town" display of various built houses in the Lotts range in Arch Two, along with various boxes and packaging.
