| Abstract: |
South West Archaeology undertook a survey of the Pilton Cabinet Works, a former Glove Factory in Pilton, Barnstaple. The former Glove Factory sits in the heart of the historic Pilton community, possibly within the precincts of the former Priory of Pilton, positioned immediately below the church, neighbouring Ladywell Lane and facing onto medieval Bull House. The standing factory building contains two main wings which lie at right-angles forming a reversed L-shape. The short southern wing of the factory is of three storeys height and built entirely of stone with brick detailing. This southern wing is the earliest building within the complex and may have been a tannery or warehouse. The longest of the factory's wings, to the east, predominantly dates from the later 19th century, post 1860, and is a purpose-built factory of three storeys. The north end of the factory is modern, replacing an earlier northern wing of the 1860s phase. This wing is probably of mid 20th century date, having a distinct 1930s style, and was certainly built by the 1970s. |
