BigWalker Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I saw several houses of this shape as I walked last year from the Pyrenees to the Pennines. Some much bigger than these. And there is a whole estate of them in Hokitika, New Zealand, built in the 50s, when they were set to be all the rage.-- Get the book of my epic walk, relive the adventure with me, and help defeat pancreatic cancer as you read.
