    There are remaining in this district a few old houses of the kind most used in former times.

    (continued from previous page)
    these houses use single burner wall lamps and sometimes candles.
    In olden times some of these houses had tables with two bats so that when not in use they would be hung up on the wall, the reason being they were so small and space scarce,
