Description

Ground-floor and first-floor plans of the Skomer Island Farm House as it was during the 1930s. Features include multiple rooms, and Aga, a Goose House and a bacon-smoking oven. The island bought by a well-to-do dentist, a Mr Sturt, who did stay on the Island with his family, and whose daughter, Betty, eventually married a local man, Reuben Codd.
The Codds then farmed the Island until the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939.
