Thatcher says craft ‘will die out’ if standards not introduced
The protruding pegs at eye height
An expert has called for the introduction of standardised training for thatching work in Northern Ireland after a number of protruding pegs were discovered inside a thatched cottage on the grounds of the Ulster Folk Museum.
One member of the public warned that the “tiger trap” was spotted at eye height on a property that was first built in the 1850s in Coshkib, Cushendall before being dismantled and moved to the museum in 1965.
