'The Basket Factory'. A little listed (Grade II) building in Abbotsbury, Dorset, dating to the 18th century.
In the 1920s it was a workshop to a local thatcher.
Here he would make the spars (lengths of split Hazel, used to hold the thatch in place) and baskets. These were good winter tasks, when it wasn't possible to do thatching.
Abbotsbury is a stunning little village where the history can be read like a book. Its a must visit if you love rural life settings 🫶
