Alley of the old village with brick repairs on the stone walls

Old Village

This village has been abandoned and everyone moved to the new village. Brickwork shows where repairs were made to the stone walls. At some point, they decided that there was too much to repair. This has been going on for thousands of years. The only difference is that today they use different building materials for their new homes and incorporate electricity, plumbing, and modern windows.
