Spent a lovely afternoon at picturesque Goytre Wharf where Machine Cottage can be found. Built in 1812 it housed weighbridgeman Mr Francis with his wife and 2 children. He received accommodation, fuel and 38 shillings and 4 pence PER YEAR (less than £2) and was, actually, quite well paid! He would never have dreamt that one day his cottage would have a Sky dish on it. Apart from the dish the cottage looks the same as 200 years ago.
