Several VAG members ventured to France last week for the excellent @FarmBuildings conference in The Lot region. Wonderful range of constructions - farmhouses, bakehouses, barns, pigsties, wells, lavoirs, casselles, walnut processing buildings, water mills and pigeon houses.

Several YVBSG members attended the excellent @FarmBuildings annual autumn conference in the Peak District this weekend. Interesting features to be seen included some nice former pigsties and feeding troughs.

[HFBG @FarmBuildings]

The 2018 Historic Farm Buildings Group (HFBG) conference, being held in the Peak District National Park, is now fully subscribed by members, but why not join the HFBG for advance notice of future conferences. Provisionally the 2019 conference may be in Lot, SW France.

More images #Dartmoor Ash Houses: slides by Peter Hirst 1990s. 1,2&3 typically round with conical roofs, 4 rectangular with barrel roof. 1&3 metal hatches intact on opening for depositing ash; not a farm building that can readily be adapted to other uses; many fallen into decline

A beautiful (and peaceful) little green lane on a farm near Chagford, east Dartmoor in the @dnparchaeology area. #HFBG2017

[HFBG @FarmBuildings]

@NicolaNeyhaul @TimothyByatt We visited two different farms near eastern Dartmoor with cider presses. Here's the other, though it's not seen any action in a while !

[HFBG @FarmBuildings]

@NicolaNeyhaul @TimothyByatt Obviously these are most likely to be in the historic cider making areas of the UK, namely the West Country & up to Herefordshire, plus Kent
