Summary[edit]

Description

While we may be familiar with the Land League, this is my first time seeing huts such as these connected with it! Were they an attempt at creating a "brave new world"? Were these intended as homes for dispossessed Land League families? Given modern focus on insulation and heat retention, one can only imagine that these were severely lacking in that quality...

What these temporary accomodations lacked in quality, they made up for in neccesity. With thanks to today's contributors we learned that indeed these types of huts were built to house evicted families - often with the direct support of the Ladies Land League. The members of the Ladies Land League (including Anna and Fanny Parnell) seemingly faced backlash from the authorities - including arrest and charges as per the courtroom extract shared in the comments below. Very interesting reading today, and gratifying in a way to see that the severity of the actions we've 'witnessed' in the evictions series was met with compassion by at least some in the wider community.....
