Old Farm Buildings, by Nigel Harvey. 32 Pages. Softbound. Old farm buildings are among the most attractive relics of our rural past and tell us much about the life and work of our great farming ancestors. This book explains why barns and other farm buildings were constructed the way they were, how their uses have changed over the years, the changes in farm buildings, and much more. It will also train you in how to orient yourself in a Georgian farmyard, why pigsties are close to the farmhouse, and even how recently the last cow was milked in the City of London. With its numerous black and white photos - both modern and vintage, and fascinating text, this book will greatly add to the pleasure of countryside excursions as well as be an informative read for all.
