COB/CLOM BUILDING, Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn, Ceredigion 2011
Notes on COB/CLOM BUILDING, Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn, Ceredigion 2011
An interesting building. On the outside a typical looking corrugated iron barn albeit with a tiled roof. Yet within those metal walls reveal a cob building, much collapsed but with windows on two floors. I can only conclude that this was once a house and has it began to collapse the owner/farmer covered/preserved the building with metal sheeting. I could see no sign of a chimney but one end had completely falled and was open to the elements. Anyone have any idea what this building was? Or indeed who lived here and if there are any photographs?

By Leah: My grandfather owned this land for years until selling the field recently. The building is an old house where a family lived. There was a tragedy that happened there where the daughter when she was very young fell into the fire place and died. It's a beautiful place for a house.
