Between the 18th and 29th of February 2016, a predetermination 'as found' record was made of a derelict 19th century timber-framed outbuilding at No. 36 High Street, North Crawley, Buckinghamshire. The structure is built of hand-hewn timber, consists of two adjoining box-framed timber structures, one with a rafter roof, the other re-roofed in asbestos sheets. It is comprised of five bay, two of which are likely to have been cart/wagon sheds, while the other three served as domestic sheds (and a possible workshop) for a row of terraced cottages built in 1864. The building was erected by a professional carpenter/builder and was in existence by 1881. Part of the building was extensively restored and repaired in the 20th century.
