Little Rabbit Hutch In The Sky




Back in the old days when wool mining was the main industry round here the miners were allowed to keep rabbits on the rooves of the woolliery buildings to supplement their diet, which otherwise mostly consisted of chalk and willow twigs (see tree below). This is one of the aerial hutches used by the rabbits.
