  1. Old Houses

    Share Share Post
    The houses in olden times were not as nice as the ones that are there now. They were made from clay and roofed with straw. They had the fire in the middle of the floor. The had the poultry and the animals living with them. They had no beds but a sop of straw laid beside the fire, upon which they slept.
