    A very nice shot Denis, my house which was built in the 1880's still has Lath and Plaster ceilings (which is based on the older wattle and duab), which caused problems when I had a leak due to storm damage and it was easier to put a plasterboard ceiling in than to try and repair the lath and Plaster one.

    Lathe and plaster was the term I was looking for Geoff but couldnt remember its name, Of course wattle and daub was a lot older, these cottages were built in 1790.

  2. I am led to believe they are timber framed houses and the inside walls just plastered over the original wattle and daub. Most likely they had Thatched roofs at one time too. I dare say they have been insulated over the years.

    A friend of mine lived in a similar house not far from here and had packed earth floors topped with flagstones before he had a screeded floor put in, wattle and daub interior walls and low beams finished it off. He sold it and a few years later the new owner spent absolute thousands  having new timbers put in to replace the rotting ones at ground level!

    ..and Creosote is not permitted ..despite the fact that I have 5 gallons of it in the shed for my fencing ;)
