Abstract: |
In September 2011 Archaeological Solutions conducted a photographic survey on workshops and stables at Potterells Farm, Station Road, Welham Green, Hertfordshire (NGR TL 23459 05177). The survey was undertaken as part of an application to convert the redundant workshop, stores and stables into three dwellings. The assessment building at Potterell's Farm comprises one of the final surviving elements of a substantial farm complex visible on historic maps of which only one or two buildings survive. The assessment structure is typical of late 19th century construction and included a series of stables with a tack room and other areas for storage and similar. The two-storey central unit was clearly used for loading and storage, with chutes and fragments of a framework for lost equipment for an unknown agricultural process. The Lainchbury belt and bucket elevator, although not original to the building, is a important survival. This is probably 1930s to 50s in date, perhaps towards the latter end of the period when the company was diversifying from the large hay elevators for which the company was particularly known. |
