Cumbrian farm buildings

Cumbrian farm buildings
Two photos here of a typical farm complex showing ‘gable ends’. This is the vertical triangular wall between sloping ends of the roof (also called a gable roof). Here (in pip1) we see also the array of chimney pots leading from the open fires of old into almost every room. This is the farm too, that the red farming implement on the preceding photo stems from.

Nicely captured images of these beautiful stone buildings Herb............love the detail.

I notice some holes at the top of the gable end (one vaguely cross-shaped) and the other made from terracotta pipes......I'm guessing they're for bats or maybe just for air circulation?

Sturdily built, but that's par for the course in Cumbria!

Glad that you enjoyed this one Toz. Do you mean my own classic mono or a possible new classic view from me?

Keep safe. Herb

Thanks my friend. I am sure this will be very cosy indeed with the glow of fresh real fires. This is in fact one of the wettest area's in Great Britain so they need to be kept dry inside. I just enjoyed the lines here really. Great that you enjoyed them too.

Keep safe. Herb

Wow, you have lived Rosa. As we often pass real farms we are usually jealous of the placements in the countryside as well as the often well built and cosy looking dwellings but we know too that the real life in such places is most often hard and far from cosy. I think these buildings have been recently renovated but are probably still in the same family as is often the case. Very glad you liked these and hopefully they brought back pleasant memories for you too.

Keep safe. Herb
