Abstract: |
An archaeological building survey was required as a condition of planning permission for conversion to residential use of a complex of farm buildings at Hollin Hey, Romney Road, Bolton (NGR SD 84011582). J. M. Trippier Archaeological and Surveying Consultancy carried out the work on behalf of Mr Robert Hammond of Hollin Hey Farm. The buildings were found to be a stone built former threshing barn to which had been added a stable unit and two shippon buildings in response to the increase demand for dairy products in the mid to late 19th century. The original barn dated from at least 1754 and in the 18th and early 19th centuries, along with the 17th century house, formed an integral part of the farmstead which surrounded the farmyard. The name Hollin Hey has a possible droving connection and there are indications in the surrounding landscape of droving routes and back lanes and stock funnels connected with the movement of beasts from the lower pastures to the upland summer grazing. |
