Houses and Streets

Houses Their houses had high spiraled chimneys. The houses had one or two rooms in them. Some of the houses were brown, gold, red and green but most of them were black and white. Most of the houses were small but the palaces were enormous because the kings needed lots of room for themselves. In their houses there were large windows to keep the sun in but to keep the burglars out. Their houses were half timbered, they were made of twigs and some were made of stone.

Streets Streets were very narrow and that is why the houses were very close together.At that time there was no lines to mark were the roads were and were the path was. Their were lots of shops such as butchers, bakers, fishmongers, brewers, cooks, weavers, tailors and robe makers, washerwomen, shoemakers, building workers and a lot more.The streets were dark, dirty and smelly because cows and sheep were led into the streets so they could be killed. There was a lot of mess that also made the streets all smelly and dirty, which meant that a little bit of people went into the streets.

Palaces As you should know the kings had a lot of room in their palaces because they needed a lot of room for themselves.
