An amazing time capsule, thank you so much for sharing!
Also, those black webs aren't spider webs - they're called soot webs or soot tags, and appear after a fire. The fire damage was pretty obvious on the mantelpiece, but I can see how in other places it wasn't as obvious. I just hope you were wearing a respirator during this explore, as those things are really bad to inhale. 💜
well @willendorfia I have learnt something today! Thanks for your input, I never considered fire damage as there was no structural damage or charred remains at all, wonder how they got there. Thanks for the link, very interesting. No no face mask.
Also, serious question - with the weirdness (to my English-speaking self) of the Welsh language, why do they all have such "normal, English-sounding" names? 🤔 I'd expect Welsh names to be as abstruse as the rest of their language...
