Abstract: |
A building recording was carried out at Gibraltar Farm, Silverdale following the submission of a planning application and listed building consent application for the conversion of a garage and workshop into dwellings. Gibraltar Farm has existed from at least the early 19th century. The name probably derives from the capture of Gibraltar in 1704. Maps show that the current footprint was essentially in place by 1829 and census returns describe one or more lodging houses at Gibraltar Farm from the middle of the 19th century. The building recording revealed that while the garage had been subject to considerable alteration in the 20th century, the south-west elevation comprised a substantial amount of earlier material fabric, including two windows with surrounds partially constructed from stone mullions of probable 17th century date. However, the arrangement of this part of the building, including the garage, indicates that it was actually added as part of a larger outshut off the rear of the main house, probably in the early 19th century, meaning that the mullions were reused from an earlier structure. The presence of reused timber, probably parts of former cruck blades, suggests a general reuse of material at the site. This extension probably provided an additional service room for the house and a row of two or three cottages which were probably originally used by seasonal farm workers and latterly described as lodging houses. |
