Abstract: |
The survey comprised nine separate buildings constructed around two yards; King's Yard constructed on a former stable yard built by Baron de Rothschild between 1857 and 1860 and Rothschild's Yard constructed on the east side of King's Yard in 1903. In addition there are another three buildings within a paddock on the east side of Rothschild's Yard which contain buildings dated to 1908 and 1912. The spine wall in the Trainer's House is recognised within this complex, as a surviving fragment of an earlier structure. The survey of the fabric of the building revealed that the layout of both yards has changed very little since their original construction in the mid 19th and early 20th century. Almost all of the stable boxes accessed contained original 19th or at least early 20th century interior fixtures and fittings including troughs, wall coverings and tiles, windows and concrete floors. Although removed at the time of the survey, the original doors were stored within the site. One other building, the Trainer's House, also retained a small number of original windows and fireplaces and recent renovation works have revealed 19th century wall coverings. A number of original fireplaces, ceiling cornices, skirting boards and chair rails have also been stored for future reinstatement. |
