Description

Shepherds' Huts and Living Vans is a fascinating look at the history and revival of these quirky, mobile homes. Originally built in rural Britain in the 1800s, they were largely abandoned by the 1970s as farming methods and industry changed. However, in recent years, these humble structures have gained a cult following, with original huts and replicas being built in high numbers. This beautifully illustrated book explores the differences between original and replica huts, taking a closer look at what life was like for those who lived and worked in these small spaces. With a focus on the history and operation of these mobile homes, the book provides a unique insight into a bygone era. By examining the evolution of the shepherd's hut, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, and provides a useful resource for those interested in history, social history, and rural life.
