  1. Old Houses

    Share Share Post
    In olden times the houses were only made of stones and the roofs were made of thatch they didn't plaster them with cement on the outside but some of the people white washed them.
    The fire was nearly always at the gable of the house.
    They had their beds in the kitchen. The floors were made of clay and the poor people just put bags in the windows and the others had glass .
