Rickety Bridge kitchen

In the kitchen, Len Raymond pointed to to the nook in the corner beside the old fireplace, saying it would originally have been contained the baking oven, heated by a flue from the fire, with a door through which the bread and other baking would be loaded. The nook would have had a wide shelf above the oven in which a slave, or servant, would have slept. ‘Whichever one the boss was sleeping most with at the time’, according to Len.
It's not so much the structure of the old houses that interests me but what it tell us of how the people lived and worked. Anyway, here is a picture of the old kitchen, minus the old fireplace and after several renovations.
