Beautiful jettied oak framed house in Lavenham, Suffolk.
The Iranian cave dwellings of Kandovan have been occupied for at least 800 years; while a crumbling 13th century house in Aveyron, France, looks as if it could topple at any moment.
Somehow East has survived in an early 16th century jettied building, alongside its Victorian neighbours. It is interesting that the pubs all make erroneous claims to their antiquity while East just modestly occupies these ancient premises. Until the mid nineteenth century there were many jettied timber framed houses along Bridlesmith Gate: this, at number 11, is now the only survivor.

It is situated along the Alsatian Wine Route and considers itself to be the "Capital of Alsatian Wine" (capitale des vins d'Alsace). Colmar has a sunny microclimate and is the driest city in France, with an annual precipitation of just 550 mm, making it ideal for Alsace wine. Colmar's secular and religious architectural landmarks reflect eight centuries of Germanic and French architecture and the adaptation of their respective stylistic language to the local customs and building materials (pink and yellow Vosges sandstone, timber framing). The medieval centre of this historic town has fine overhanging timber-framed buildings, dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, a dream for the keen photographer.

Timber framing and "post-and-beam" construction are traditional methods of building with heavy timbers, creating structures using squared-off and carefully fitted and joined timbers with joints secured by large wooden pegs. If the structural frame of load-bearing timber is left exposed on the exterior of the building it may be referred to as half-timbered, and in many cases the infill between timbers will be used for decorative effect. The country most known for this kind of architecture is Germany, where timber-framed houses are spread all over the country.[1][2]
