Abstract: |
Archaeological building recording was undertaken on behalf of Olympia Homes Ltd at Upper Blackstone Farm, Stourport Road, Bewdley, Worcestershire (NGR 7952 7407; HER 42125). Recording at Upper Blackstone Farm consisted of producing a record of all the buildings of the farmstead with the exception of the farmhouse. The farmhouse and adjacent large Lshaped barn are listed buildings. The buildings date back to the mid-late 18th century, when the farmhouse and a large threshing barn were constructed. The development of the farm continued through the 19th century with the construction of a further threshing barn, stables, and a timber built Dutch barn. The second threshing barn was constructed at the time of the Napoleonic Wars in order to meet the increased demand for grain as the import of food products was blocked by the French. The development of the farm in the 19th century included using new technological products such as cast iron water bowls and ceramic lined feed troughs, to combat the spread of cattle flu, and the use of machinery for threshing. |
