EDITORS COMMENTS
House of Straw: Brothers Paul and Jack Clark showcase their extraordinary craftsmanship as they construct a unique straw stack at Vale Farm, Saintbury. This print captures the dedication and ingenuity of these brothers in building their remarkable house made entirely out of straw. To create this astonishing structure, it required an impressive 3485 bales of straw, costing £12 per ton. The total value of this masterpiece amounts to £696. Over the course of three days in October 1976, Paul and Jack meticulously stacked each bale to form this one-of-a-kind dwelling. Reminiscent of the famous tale 'The Three Little Pigs, ' this photograph transports us back to the rural landscapes and agricultural practices that defined the 1970s. It serves as a testament to the resourcefulness found within farming communities during that era. This image from Memory Lane Prints not only showcases a remarkable feat but also highlights the importance of sustainable materials such as hay and straw in traditional farming practices. It reminds us that innovation can be found even in seemingly ordinary tasks like constructing haystacks. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate the dedication, skill, and creativity displayed by these two brothers who transformed humble stacks into an architectural marvel.
