The Panmure cottage was built in the 19th Century. It was relocated near our school as it used to be where McDonald is at the moment.There are many different collectibles in the cottage.For example, there is a very, very old typewriter, old sewing machine, vacuum cleaner, old bike, old dresses, and lots more of ancient stuff that they were able to preserve.
In the living room, there are rocking chairs and normal but uncomfortable chairs because they were not cushioned enough and there is an enormous family bible on the table. If you want to read in bed and you carry the huge bible you will fall on your stomach because it is really heavy. Also, there is bundles of dried lavender flowers tied on the walls to make the living room smell nice and fresh. You can also see the candelabras that hold the candles that they lit at night to give them light as there was no electricity during that time.
There is a master bedroom that only has a large bed and two old pairs of shoes. A little black purse is hanging on the door and an old little girl’s dress placed on the bed. You can also find a dressing table with drawers to put their clothes in and on top of the dressing table, there are hair brushes by the mirror. There are also framed photos of little girls by the master bed.
It is important that we keep and maintain the Panmure Cottage because of its history and it is the only one in Panmure and also because it has lots of interesting things inside that the future generation can see and learn from. And most importantly, for all of us to learn what life was really like in the 19th century.
