Only In China 14 - Thames Town Replica of English City

Thames Town is a residential area in Song Jiang, China, designed to mimic an English town, complete with Georgian and Victorian architecture and a statue of Winston Churchill. It has sparked copyright controversy due to its resemblance to Lyme Regis, England. The owner of the original shops in Lyme Regis, GAIL Caddy, was surprised to find her properties replicated in China. Thames Town is expected to accommodate over 10,000 residents upon completion, and Caddy is eager to visit her replicated shop, viewing imitation as flattery.
