Summary edit
| Description |
English: Abandoned sheep dip, Pen Blaen. There is a saying. "Look up the river for a wife, and down the river for a farm."
It was the ambition of a tenant farmer to move to better land down stream on lower ground, especially the richer lands in England. My own family took this route out of Radnorshire. This illustrates a trend for if there is a net loss of people living off the land the higher farms are abandoned. This is quite a modern looking sheepdip, now the descendants of the sheep that went through here are farmed from a far bigger enterprise in the valley, a consolidation of many small units that once grazed a few sheep on the common. |
