    accounts of houses which had no glass for the window. Boards and bags were used as glass in the windows long ago. The floor of the old houses were made of stones and mortar long ago. Half doors are common in the district but they were very common long ago. Turf was used and bog deal, other kinds of wood were used also. The light of fire gave light to the people long ago. Rushes gave them light long ago also. Candles were not made locally long ago.
