Letter from Wilfred Benbow (Llandiloes) - Ref : Cwmdyrgi Uwchgarreg, Machynlleth - "The house itself is one story only with two rooms, one living room and one bedroom. The walls are of stone with mud used for mortar. The floor was ... earth, but has since been tiled. The fire is an open hearth and it is possible to sit right under the chimney opening ..." / Ref : Bronyfelin - "... it had a hard earth floor and a "Crogloft" reached by climbing a ladder. There was no window in this loft though a zinc skylight could be opened to admit light or more air ..." [1945]
