Abstract: |
A Level 2 historic building recording was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at the Granary, Rodbaston Campus, South Staffordshire College, Farm Drive, Rodbaston, Staffordshire between the 14th and 16th of October 2015. The survey studied the Granary building and adjacent associated buildings which once formed part of the Rodbaston Hall model farm estate. The Granary dates to the second half of the 19th century with late 19th century additions and alterations. It was first constructed as a single storey structure with a central tower. Later in the 19th century the building was extended to create a two storey building and, possibly at the same time, three southern range buildings were added. The southern range buildings were demolished soon after the mid-1960s and replaced by two steel-framed structures. Much of the original farm complex has been redeveloped or demolished during its time as an agricultural college. The 19th century Granary can be seen as being representative of changes in farming practices and technology seen across the country around this time. Planning permission has been granted to refurbish and convert the now redundant building into new teaching areas and to construct a new workshop. The report and archive will be deposited with Staffordshire Museums under Accession Number 2015.LH.17. |
