Dude111 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I love history and just being able to see some of this wonderfull ancient stuff still standing is breath taking Whats the oldest stuff STILL STANDING you guys have seen? I saw some stuff over near me from the 1700's still up and lived in!! (Shows just how crappy stuff is made today) I have eatan @ a restaurant that was built in the 1700s (Dunno how much of it is the original material) I love older things....... All thats made today just about is GARBAGE and it gets to you after awhile......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I visited a place in Lincolnshire a few years ago, a village, I think they call it Ludboro or something. Anyhow there's a cottage there with a stone above the door with the date 1630, still lived in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The Mill of the Black Monks in Barnsley is listed as being built in the 13th century and is still in use as a pub. More locally, the Strines Inn was built in the 15th (I think) century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Womersle Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The oldest structure I have seen is Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain, if that counts. I found it much smaller than the television and films depict it. It was really interesting though, and well worth the visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
