A walk round my village

Off to village to get my hair cut, I took my camera ...






No not beer, a Bier House is where the village kept it's Bier, which is a trolley like carrier for coffins. The Bier is the predecessor to the hearse. Undertakers now use lightweight stands, often made of aluminium, to rest the coffin on in the church etc.. There are now not many Bier Houses around.
