Abstract: |
All aspects of the relevant building were recorded in accordance with the guidelines set out for a Level 3 survey in the Historic England document: Understanding Historic Buildings, A Guide to Good Recording Practice (HE 2016). Photographs were taken of all external elevations, all internal elevations, the roof structure, the relationship of the structure to its surrounding, and architectural details. Metric scales of appropriate length and a tripod was used when required, with all photos annotated and linked to a floor plan. The survey was subject to some limitations due to the restricted access as a result of fire damage, but it was nonetheless possible to identify three broad phases of construction. The earliest phase is represented by Structure A in the 18th/19th century and it is likely that Structure B, which may originally have functioned as a coach house, is of contemporary date. What was visible of the handmade brick stock in both structures appeared very similar. Hennet’s map of 1829, available on the Lancashire County Council web page of old maps, clearly denotes Boar’s Head, however lacking in detail it does not offer a clear shape of the plan layout. Further outhouses were added in the early 20th century at the back of the premises.These structures appear to have been removed around the 1930s and replaced by larger north-south orientated structures prior to 1955. The last and third phase refers to the large sweeping extensions built around the original pub. This construction probably necessitated the removal of previous outbuildings seen on the later maps from 1955 and 1968. |
