Abstract: |
CFA carried out a basic historic building survey at Halls Farm, Near Dunbar, East Lothian in October 2020, prior to their conversion. Three late 19th Century C listed buildings contained six individual farm workers' cottages associated with Halls Farm, Dunbar. All three blocks shared the same architectural character with rubble-built whinstone wall with contrasting red sandstone dressings. The rear elevations had 20th century brick-built extensions that originally served as coal fired washhouses. These were later converted into kitchens and bathrooms. Building 1 is a single cottage but was originally two cottages, Buildings 2 was originally two cottages but remodelled to form a single cottage whilst Building 3 was extended it remained as two separate cottages. Modernisation had been extensive in the mid to late 20th century with the installation of bathrooms and kitchens. Older fireplaces dating to the second half of the 19th century were also represented. Two outhouses included a single storey brick-built shed and a rectangular stone and brick building with six compartments probably last used as coalhouses. The cottages were all unoccupied with Building 2 being in a very derelict state. |
