Interesting stuff in that cottage. The newspaper, I think could be The Sunday People is advertising Nairn's Oatcakes, so not that old. But as for the rest. The walls was sometimes lined with newspapers and used as insulation. So the house has been there since 1889.

Yeah, that one was from 1947, but the paper on the wall in the 3rd last picture is dated Saturday April 20th, 1889. A nice little slice of history for sure :)

Sorry; the 's is the big clue to the actual newspaper, it is the People's Journal (For Fife and Kinross). The fragment of the story shown, brings back childhood memories. The only coal that was available in some areas was very poor quality, prone to producing much soot and thus an ever increasing number of chimney fires - or, as in my case, your Dad attacking the flue with the rods and brush on an ever increasing frequency.
