Abstract: |
South West Archaeology was asked to undertake a desk-based assessment and historic building survey on buildings to the rear of the London Inn in West Street, Okehampton. The documentary sources suggest that the yard to the north-west of the present London Inn has probably contained stabling and housing for carts and carriages for some two hundred years with more major alterations occurring during the late 19th century when the current buildings were erected. But from the early 20th century horse transport would have become less and less important and viable to both travellers and commercial transporters of goods and mail, leading eventually to the purpose built stables and cart sheds falling into decline. |
