Abstract: |
South West Archaeology (SWARCH) was commissioned to undertake historic building recording of the barn at Virworthy Wharf, Sutcombe, Holsworthy, Devon prior to its renovation. The barn stands on a former wharf associated with the Alfardisworthy branch of the Bude Canal, which was opened in the 1820s in order to import large volumes of lime and sea sand into the agricultural hinterland of north Devon The wharf building was used for storing perishable or valuable goods and it is typical of those on the Bude canal. |
