Hi Gang;
This is a typical Pembrokeshire "Long House" which is the old style of farm house & buildings.
Constructed on stones (from the fields) with slate roof. In later years to preserve the roof and extend its life, they covered the slates with a thin mix of concrete. Single story in centre is original house-cottage; note the two butress to protect the front door from the weather.
The left side is later addition to extend the living accomodation. The right side would have been the stables & cattle shed & barn.
They have almost disapeared, this one has been converted into a holiday home.
Cheers David

Looks a lot like the way my cousins house is in New Hampshire, except that it is wood frame construction. House connected to buggy shed to barn to stable. I guess they just kept on building on the end until they ran out of ideas or space. It was built about 1720. Good picture!
Thanks for sharing with us.
Paul
