Abstract: |
This document is an archaeological building survey (photographic survey) of Barrack House, The Barracks, Barwell, Leicestershire (SP 44291 96765), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) by NS and PS Property Developments Ltd in advance of the part demolition and conversion of the buildings and re-development of the site to residential use. The original building is a traditionally built factory building, later extended in the modernist style to create a visually interesting building reflecting the evolution of small scale regional manufacturing. The cramped site however prevented the factory from expanding, hampering the productivity and economic viability of the site. These late 19th and early 20th century small factory buildings were a key feature of the villages and small towns of this part of Leicestershire and are rapidly disappearing from the landscape. The photographic survey provided a permanent visual (photographic) record of the buildings in their current state. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museums Service, under the accession number X.A96.2018. |
