The passage of time, building new homes, the destruction of others, reforms a large majority, and so on., Led to the loss of most of these tiles and forced to perform a few years ago renumbering of houses, in this case to facilitate the work of postmen.
tile photograph illustrating those placed in 1860 and is one of the few that remain in Moal. Now, some questions that I hope to be answered, for a better understanding of the people.
