Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a programme of historic building recording of a building at the former Pasture Mine, Foolow Road, Eyam, Derbyshire, situated at National Grid Reference SK 20729 77276. Little Pasture Mine, as it was historically known, has been recognised as a site of regionally and nationally importance which forms part of a wider region of nationally, and potentially internationally, significant historic lead mining activity within the Peak District. The extant building at the site represents a relatively rare survival of an 18th century reckoning house and overseer's office. Although preserving few features that would readily illustrate the function of the building, the presence of the fireplace and domestic proportions of windows and doors clearly distinguish it from an agricultural building. Despite some alterations its original plan form and circulation remains highly legible. Overall it is considered that the building is intrinsically of regional heritage significance, reflecting its rarity, its good survival, and the high contribution it makes to the surrounding historic landscape. |
