Thatched Roof Thursday #21 - Brinklow

And, Fosse Cottage (on the left) is for rent, or at least it was.



This timber frame building with white painted brick infill is actually two homes.  The building is Grade II Listed, dating from the seventeenth century.  It is described as one storey, plus an attic. You won't believe the house next door.  I'll show it to you next week. 

Broad Street, Brinklow, is a little wider than many of the 'main streets' I have seen and this one is full of a variety of homes in all shapes and sizes and shops too. 


These photos were taken last Saturday when the sun was out.  That didn't last long.  I haven't seen it since :).

That brief moment of sun looks very sweet though:) What a darling thatched find again - actually, I've realized you do an impressive job keeping cars/traffic out of these captures!

I could not believe my luck, Lulu, when I was walking pass this thatch to find no cars. Most unusual :). Unfortunately, the one of the house next door will have a car in it. Oh well.

Nice contrast between an old thatch and a much newer one.

Looks like you had a beautiful day for your thatched roof hunt. These are so quaint.

No worries, Chieftess, you have snow! I would settle for that :).

Deb - It is fun to see all the differences.

SRQ - It was a gorgeous day. I would love to know what the rent is!
