The rebuild is to replicate what it was like in 1915 when it last had a refurb! When I was last in there, which would have been whatever Christmas had a heavy snow around about 2010, it was still a sawdust floor as today, but with 95 years of nicotine on the walls. They’ve kept the outside toilets, but gentrified them with a roof. My abiding memory was stood outside at the urinal, in the snow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s all manner of buildings there, from across Wales. A terrace of miner’s cottages which they’ve quite cleverly done with each one a different time period from being built in the 1800’s, up to the 1980’s. Farm buildings, shops, a post office, just a span of a few hundred years of buildings set up to represent different points in history. Plus of course, the original house and gardens. Potted history, there has been a settlement there since about 600ad. Then around about 1100, the Normans rocked up and built a fort then a castle. Some of that Norman castle wall from 900 years ago forms the garden wall for the main house. There was a food festival today, so I’m now full of samosas and I’ve bought far more potions, pastes, and pickles than I should have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knife making was a few years back now. since then, we’ve dabbled at wood turning and stone carving. we’ve had a great laugh today, cutting and soldering glass together to make a hanging display. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
