Ruined Chattel House, Oistins


These tiny wooden houses were common in many former British colonies - there are also fine examples of a similar size, built at the same time, to be found in New Zealand. In Barbados, as in New Zealand, there are fewer and fewer of these delightful structures as the years and neglect take their toll. This example has probably already gone to Chattel House Heaven.
