Hi Nick - it's a bit difficult getting to
view buildings here as they're mainly private, and we need to be in touch
with several of them to update ourselves on who would be happy to have telephone
calls/visits etc. Off the top of my head, I can say that Vauxhall City
Farm which has a cow and goat sb shelter, and a farm near us (Hebden Bridge,
West Yorkshire) would be happy for you to visit the facilities building.
There are 3 at CAT - Centre for Alternative Technology in Machnylleth, Wales,
and there are a couple in Ireland who may well be open to visitors - southern
Ireland, if you wanted to expand your dissertation to UK and Ireland.
There is also an office attached to the Steiner School in Belfast who would be
happy to have visitors. Are you interested in any particular buildings?
Residential? Or all/any strawbale constructions?
In the meantime, check the website - there is a
Guide to sb building in our climate which you may find useful. Good luck,
and be in touch if you want details of the above.
