Abstract: |
A programme of architectural recording was undertaken by Humber Field Archaeology prior to the demolition of farm buildings at Poplar Farm, Stow Park Road, Marton near Gainsborough in Lincolnshire. The farm house had been substantially demolished prior to recording and could not he closely inspected, though Ordnance Survey map evidence suggested a similar date to the other farm buildings. The farm buildings themselves, which appeared to have been primarily devoted to housing a dairy herd, surrounded a crew yard on four sides and were built of orange-red brick laid in English bond with the substantial use of Staffordshire blue brick for string courses, quoins and window surrounds. The effect of this design, particularly in the north range, was more one of railway than farm architecture. A date stone inscribed '1883' had been laid beneath a gablet in the west range and this would appear to have been the date of construction of many, if not all, of the buildings. The principle later additions to the farmstead appear to have been the roofing over of much of the crew yard at some time between 1956 and 1980-1, and the addition of a corrugated asbestos roofed open-ended shed to the east, again at some time after 1956. |
