The Reeves of Bratton hut is progressing well, alongside our newbuild huts.  We stripped back some fairly recent hardboard internal cladding which revealed the original pitch pine boards.  Where the boards had shrunk someone, presumably a shepherd, had filled the boards with shredded newspaper.  We carefully opened this up to reveal articles from newspapers in 1917.  At the time of the first world war a shepherd was using the hut, and 'gapping up' the cladding after he had read the news.  We can assume that the hut was built in the early 1900's.  We have insulated the hut with airtec aluminium, laid a new oak floor and are fitting two oak handmade windows.
