hello all, Indeed the cottage I know of does seem as if it is a holiday let now, but it still retains its old Welsh cottage look. Interestingly E.T. Lewis' book "Efailwen to Whitland" states there was a tannery at Cwmmiles in the 19th century. Therefore Thomas James would not have had any difficulty in obtaining leather for his harnesses.
