A huge project to move a 1930 s cottage to a new site, restore it and convert it into a new museum for Ramsey was launched in 2005.
Darlow Farm Cottage was a typical two-bedroom fen cottage, built entirely of wood. It had no running water, electricity or mains drainage.
The water supply, from two rainwater butts supplied the coal-fired boiler in the kitchen, bath and hand basin in the small bathroom; and if these ran out, it meant a walk to the nearby drain to fill buckets.
