Abstract: |
A historic building survey was carried out prior to the removal of a late 19th century grain store. The structure was 'B'-Listed, but was facing demolition following significant damage incurred during a storm. The building was 'L'-shaped on plan, comprising a north-south aligned element and an adjoining east-west aligned element, arranged around a central courtyard. It had originally been three storeys high over its extent but had now lost much of the upper storey of its eastern element as a result of the recent collapse. The survey confirmed that the building represented one phase of building, with many original features remaining intact and undisturbed. These included structural elements such as cast-iron columns and supporting posts, as well as a range of fixtures which included doors, louvre-type openings, windows, stairs and handrails. Evidence of relict decorative schemes survived in places: this revealed that the ground floor had been plastered to dado height and painted brick above in the eastern element, with evidence for timber panelling to dado height and painted brick above throughout the entire first floor. The fragmentary remains of a grain bruiser, powered by a ceiling-mounted drive shaft, were still in situ at the west end of the southern element. |
