RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted December 31, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 31, 2017 Do these cottages still stand? I understood that in the days of enlightened town and country planning, dwellings with only one door would have been condemned as unfit for human habitation.

I understood that in the days of enlightened town and country planning, dwellings with only one door would have been condemned as unfit for human habitation. No, they're long gone, just a crumbling pillar of stones about half way along is all that's left. Another row further up on the moor top has fared better, I suppose this row was easier to cart away.

Bog doors or not Andy They were over the road... Anyway, today is the second anniversary of this thread and a lot has happened in that time, I'm well pleased with progress, it's going a lot better than I expected. I've made a start on the two trees but there's quite a bit to do to them yet, there's a few gorse bushes appeared and some sheep have arrived. 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portchullin Tatty Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 The use of the coloured dyes to mark ownership of sheep is a modern thing. They would have been branded with a branding iron at this time, so a slightly blackened (and much smaller so not really visible) mark would have been all they exhibited.

They would have been branded with a branding iron at this time, so a slightly blackened (and much smaller so not really visible) mark would have been all they exhibited. It would be entirely characteristic of pre-Grouping stock to have indication of ownership less prominently displayed, at least up to the end of Victoria's reign. I believe the Great Western used branding irons on some of its early goods wagons (before iron frames became the thing) but I suppose the practice is rather more humane on wagons than on sheep.

Hi Mark, Their horns would possibly be branded, there's also ear notching and tattoos but raddle or rudd has been around for a long time, not a permanent ID but essential for spotting your sheep half a mile away over the moors (unless it's foggy of course) Seen here in the 1820s in this Constable painting, definitely not tupping marks as it's obviously late summer. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Constable_-_The_Cornfield.jpg 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 The use of the coloured dyes to mark ownership of sheep is a modern thing. They would have been branded with a branding iron at this time, so a slightly blackened (and much smaller so not really visible) mark would have been all they exhibited. The purchase of dye for marking sheep (that's what the Latin says) on downland manors certainly occurs in a couple of 14th century documents I've looked at - I'm fairly certain the colour was specified. These sheep would have been grazed among the flocks of other owners. I wonder whether branding would be hugely effective on something like a sheep - certainly if the animal was kept for wool it would impact on the value of the animal if the brand was prominent enough to be seen through the fleece. Not sure about the intervening centuries, however. Adam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Worsdell forever Posted January 2, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2018 The next bit I'm working on is the strip of land between the track and the houses, I put a strip of wood for the houses to sit behind and then I filled in in front of this and now it's had static grass, longer at the back and shorter at the front, well, hopefully it's worked like that. I think it's starting to look the part now. 29 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
