Stock no. 1828330
Published by Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society. 1st 2003. Slightly better than very good condition.

The mud buildings of the English Solway Plain known locally as "Dabbins" or "Daubins" are little known outside the immediate area, but they continued to be built until the early years of the twentieth century. The author has studied in detail most of the 150 or so farmhouses, cottages and farm buildings which remain and has attempted to trace their development in form and in constructional methods. These were peasant buildings, build by their owners for their own use, and they continue to provide warm, comfortable, well-insulated homes to this day. Green cardwraps. B/w photos and plans. ISBN: 1873124384. Initials and date in ink to half-title page else contents clean.
