This hut was found in Cumbria by one of our many 'hut spotters' who after looking at our website, have become infected with the 'hutting bug' and regularly report new sightings to us after finding a hut on a walk or a drive in the countryside. It is interesting to find a hut in such hilly terrain, its position against two walls probably means this could have well been the site of the Lambing pens where sheep would have been brought down from the foothills to relative safety of an enclosure.

With close rail links to many hut manufacturing sites, delivery of manufactured goods to virtually anywhere in England in the late 1800's really wasn't a problem. The cost of delivery in many cases was included in the price! Indeed, we have found a number of West country huts that have come to Norfolk from as far afield as Wiltshire. Dependable mail-order over a hundred years before the Internet.
