Lilliput Lane's "Hidden Cottages " is based on Holy Austin Houses at Kinver Edge & Rock Houses, Comber Road, DY7 6HU  (see below) 
For centuries people dug into Kinver Edge's soft sandstone to create their homes, the last cave dwellers only moved out in the 1950s. One of the rock houses has been restored so you can imagine living here in Victorian times.
