House Caves

Sunday August 9

Jayne and I went to see the caves in Kinver here. To see the inside they are only open on Sunday from 2 – 4pm, as only volunteers work there. It cost 2 pounds each to get in. They had an exhibit room and there was only a two bedroom living quarters we saw. However, it does have the furniture that the people used who lived there.

I was told that the first people to move to this cave were in 1777, but there are other caves right next to it where other families lived. It was occupied from the 1850s to the 1960s.I took some pictures.

Everything looked very nice.

Then we went to the tea house, which is also build in a cave. However, the front look more like a house with pointed roofs that are build like something you’d see today. So, this must have been done years later.

We got to the tea house just in time, as they close at 4pm, too.

There is an outdoor eating area where we sat.

I was told that there are not many in England and that this one is probably the nicest. Then we walked to the village where we had something to eat in the pub.
