Llwyn-yr-eos hay shed
The corrugated iron hay shed at the end of LLwyn-yr-eos farmstead at St Fagans: National History Museum is typical of hundreds of such structures that were erected during the late 1940s — 1960s on many Welsh farms. This particular example comes from Penlan Bridell, a 56acre mixed farm in Boncath, Pembrokeshire, where the main emphasis was on milk production. It was erected in 1952 by a local contractor, Lloyd Morris of Boncath, who specialised in building hay sheds of this sort. It was used primarily for storing loose hay, for feeding to cattle, together with a small quantity of straw which was used as bedding. Later, it was used for storing bales of hay. It was donated to the Museum in 2008 by Wyn Thomas of Penlan Bridell and was rebuilt here the following year.
