Abstract: |
This document is an archaeological building survey (photographic survey) of three Nissen Huts on land adjacent to No. 7 Nailstone Road, Barton in the Beans, Leicestershire (SK 39947 06482), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) by Cadeby Homes Ltd in advance of the demolition of the buildings and the re-development of the site for residential use. Nissen Huts are a key feature of 20th century and military architecture, originally devised for a purely military and temporary use the buildings were retained and erected across the country providing cheap, easily and quickly assembled buildings for a multitude of uses. These three huts, although not in an original military site are good examples of the re-use of the Nissen Hut in the early post World War II era. The photographic survey provided a permanent visual (photographic) record of the buildings in their current state. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museums Service, under the accession number X.A74.2016. |
