Have just spent a really fascinating few hours reading through the Kelly's
Directory for Bucks 1907, one of a superb compendium from ACDBooks.

Jsut a couple of examples:

New and Secondhand churches, chapels schoolrooms shepherds' and keepers' huts
shipped and erected in any part of the world.  Don't know why but that
appeals!

or what about:

Wm Trinder, Builder, Contractor, Undertaker, Painter, Paperhanger and Water
Diviner. He seems to have led an interesting and varied life.

Another 19 of them to read - I'll never get any work done!

I like the idea of keepers' huts.
Could be useful for storing all the family records, photos, etc.

Best wishes
