Abstract: |
An archaeological recording project was undertaken on behalf of Elder Project Management Ltd at 'The Cider Mill', Aldington, Worcestershire (NGR: 0639 4410; HER ref. WSM32297). The exact date of the building is unclear, although on the basis of cartographic evidence it can be considered as of late 18th/early 19th century origin. Unfortunately the possibility of dendrochronological analysis has been discounted. The building was part of a probable late 18th/early 19th century farmstead, although its exact original function is unclear. It was used later as part of a smithy, which occupied the site in the late 19th century. The surviving cider press inside the building is considered to be of 20th century date. The present structure is of three bays and is a single phase of mixed building styles, comprising rough coursed lias dwarf walls to either side with wood framed panel infill, and brick gable ends. The roof frame comprises a king post truss off a heavy ash tie beam. No earlier structures, archaeological horizons or deposits were identified within the groundworks and there was no indication of an associated cider mill. |
