mediaeval house, rebuilt

This is the latest addition to the museum at St Ffagan, a mediaeval house from the quay at Haverfordwest  in Pembrokeshire.

For those who can access I player, there is a programme about it...

It looks lovely. Well worth the effort. Reminds me a bit of Dylan Thomas's place/boathouse down at Laugharne. although now a displaced building, I suppose, it does look right in this setting!

My first thought has to be, why didn't they leave it where is was? Was Tesco going to build over it?

Cro, it was rescued from the original site thirty years ago. Can you get i-player? I think you can if you can make it think that your isp is in the uk...there is a website saying how, and I believe that it is free, but I don't know the address of it.

Generally things end up there when they are in danger of dereliction/demolition.
There are other qualifying factors, such as being a rare example. Also it is difficult to use something that is mid terrace!!

I watched the programme on the reconstructing of this gorgeous little building and I was very impressed with how it was done, the history and just the sheer beauty and functionality of it :)
