Barns and paraphernalia at New Buildings Farm The items lying around included several pallets of reclaimed bricks - it's not clear whether these represent the forerunners of the New Buildings at the farm, or whether they're for making new buildings. There were a number of free-range chickens running around the yard, and Daft Dog was VERY interested in those.
