POMPALLIER HOUSE!!!










On Friday the 26th of March we went to Pompallier house. We had one helper who showed us around and told us about the things inside the house. We saw an old prnting machine and a vat with bark, and urine for tanning. Michaela got to pull out the bark dye that they were using for tanning and it smelt bad... really bad!
We went into the printing workshop and choose a metal letter each. They were used to make the letters in the printing. She showed us how to ink up the printing and Tamson used the printing press to make a picture of the olden day printers.
I liked the dead rats, they were mummified by the lime they used to make concrete - concrete rats...ha,ha,ha!
