Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East have been commissioned by Amec Foster Wheeler Enivronment and Infrastructure Limited (Amec) to undertake a historic buildings record of the former Piggery at the former Cane Hill Hospital, Coulsdon, CR5 3YL (NGR 529574 159074). The building recording was required in order to fulfil conditions placed on planning consent. The piggery is interesting both for its historic association with the Cane Hill Hospital, and as an example of a purpose-built Victorian piggery. Piggeries were typically constructed with other farm structures. Until the later-19th-century pigsties were typically attached to the backs of farmhouses where they could be fed on household waste. Thus purpose-built piggeries mark a break from earlier trends, as well as representing the increasing industrialisation and specialisation of food industries in the 19th-century. Of course, the piggery at Cane Hill Hospital also served a differing role, being part of a working farm operated by patients as a part of their care and rehabilitation. The decline of the piggery is an artefact of the changing expectations, values, science, and policies of the medical profession and the public - while also mirroring the decline of the Cane Hill Hospital which had essentially shut down by 1991. |
