Abstract:		 Stoke-on-Trent Archaeology carried out an archaeological building recording at the former Blurton Farm Depot, Church Road, Blurton, Stoke-on-Trent. The building recording identified a complex of farm buildings built in the third quarter of the 19th century. These were constructed in a U-shape around a central courtyard, an arrangement typical of 'high farming' in this era. Whilst all the original fixtures and fittings had been removed from the buildings, the original layout had been little altered and was distinctive enough to indicate how each part of the complex had originally functioned. The original farm complex was equipped with accommodation for cattle, horses, carts and machinery and included a threshing barn in the western range, suggesting a mixed arable and fatstock estate. Subsequent changes to the complex can largely be associated with its use as a council depot in the mid-late 20th century. Some earlier alterations, however, seem to suggest a shift in farming practice from mixed arable towards a fatstock regime, likely associated with a general downturn in arable farming experienced during the late 19th century. Alterations may also have resulted from early 20th-century modernisation and mechanisation in farming.
