Lilliput Lane's "Micklegate Antiques" is a relatively early model, introduced in February 1991 (retired Sept 1997)

It was based on the many jewellery, antique and curio shops in York.

This page suggests some of the buildings which inspired the model

Jan Tarrant suggests it is styled on :

CHURCH COTTAGES,

31 NORTH STREET west side

At first sight this may not seem to be the building but the Frith photo of  Hemmen's Shop taken in 1909 shows some similarities though not bowed windows.
