  1. Old Houses

    Share Share Post
    The houses the people lived in long ago were thatched. There were no slated houses. They were not as nice as the thatched houses now. They had very small windows that couldn't be opened. They used to tie the cattle in the house. They used to have a loft over the cattle and they had hens in it.
