In the narrative of my previous post I've said that I have the intention to show you in this series some different aspects of or around farmhouses in the Zeeland Countryside. Therefore this time not an image of a farmhouse but an image of a small old house related to this subject. In former days a lot of people had a job on a farm not only to work at the fields but, for also for other work, for instance, to take care for the (draught) horses as well as there wasn't in that time any kind of motorised mechanisation. It was a common use that for the not temporary workmen on the farm, a small house was built at the yard of the farmhouse. This image show you such a small house. Nowadays those houses have lost their original function and they are mostly in use now by the tourists wich are visiting Zeeland in the summertime as a second home. Hope you enjoy both this image and series.
