Introduction
This archive comprises the Written Scheme of Investigation, images, and an archive index from an historic building recording of The Cart House, Newholme Hospital, Bakewell, undertaken by Wessex Archaeology in November 2021. The aims of the historic building recording were achieved by making a descriptive/analytical, photographic and drawn record of the Cart House prior to its partial demolition, commensurate with the requirements of a Historic England Level 2-3 (descriptive-analytical) record. The Cart House forms an early part of the former Bakewell Union Workhouse, latterly Newholme Hospital, constructed as an ancillary structure, likely as a cart house, which was latterly used as a store. The building's construction is simple, reflecting its ancillary nature. Nevertheless, it contributes to an understanding of the historic function and layout of the former workhouse. The building is largely single-phased, dating to between 1841 and 1879, with some later alterations, including the addition of a late 20th-century porch structure, replaced doors, and a poured concrete floor. The building recording exercise has ensured a record of the property has been documented for future research and interest.
