<p>[QUOTE="Katie Heath, post: 282033, member: 5681"]Thanks for all the replys! The house is in South Wales and we aren't sure on the exact age, but based on the fireplace it may be 17th century. I'm sure the shoe sole isn't that old but I'm just curious to know where it might fit in to the house's history. I heard that children's shoes were sometimes hidden beneath floor boards and under stairs to act as a decoy for any evil spirits entering the house.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
