Abstract: |
A Level 3 building recording was carried out following the submission of a planning application for the conversion of a former barn on land to the rear of Rose Cottage, Stank, Cumbria. The building is a relatively unusual survival within the wider context of the mine, many of the more functional buildings having been demolished or now in ruins, while only the more polite buildings seem to have survived elsewhere. The building dates to the end of the 19th century and formed part of the Stank Iron Mines, which were leased from 1871 until the mine was abandoned 30 years later. The recording of the building confirmed it had indeed been constructed as a blacksmith's workshop, with four hearths. A number of alterations were made to the building after it went out of use as a blacksmith's, undoubtedly relating to its change of use for agricultural storage, including blocking all the windows and smaller apertures, some rebuilding to provide a new doorway, and the removal of all of the hearths leaving only truncated remains of some of the flues. One of the two large doorways was also probably inserted or enlarged at this time. Later, concrete blocks were added internally to support a raised floor, and the smaller door was blocked. |
