Abstract: |
Greenlane Archaeology recorded buildings to the north and east of the current survey as well as what remained of a boundary to the west side of the site at Davey's Yard, Salthouse Road, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria in December 2009. The remaining elements were recorded on 21st October 2015. The surrounding area was not developed until the middle of the 19th century, when it became the site of the Barrow terminus railway station in 1846, which was accompanied by the construction of an engine shed, smith's shop, and workers cottages. These buildings subsequently grew to form the extensive Furness Railway Company's Engineering Works with elements, including the buildings recorded, designed and constructed between 1855 and 1864, probably to the designs of Edward Paley. The area saw rapid development in the 1860s and 1870s and the general area, known as 'The Strand', contained many locally important commercial buildings. The building recording undertaken in 2009 revealed six phases of development at the site. By examining the existing cartographic evidence and photographs taken of the site, many of the phases of construction could be dated to within a few years. The recording of the remaining structures in 2015 revealed only three phases relating to these buildings, but allowed a phase plan for the entire building to be produced, again with six phases evident. |
