Abstract:		 A limited programme of building recording has been carried out in advance of the conversion of redundant farmbuildings to residential units at Allendale Farm. The report deals with the two-storeyed South Range of the quadrangle, and the southern part of the single-storeyed East Range, as well as a block attached to the east end of the south side of the South Range. The photographic recording was undertaken during May 2011, a new measured plan of the buildings has been produced and annotated to show phasing, and Architect's plans of the buildings, provided by the client, are also presented in the report. It is concluded that the buildings recorded in the present exercise are of mid-19th century origin, with an additional attached block of buildings to the south-west - probably the previous house - having been removed by c1938. The character of the buildings suggests that they cannot long pre-date 1860; the use of Welsh slates indicates that they are unlikely to be earlier than c1840. The single storey ranges on the north, east and west of the yard could well be a little earlier than the more sophisticated South Range which is a very typical early Victorian farm building for the area, sub-divided into byres and stables on the ground floor and with longer granaries above. It remains very much in its original condition, although its windows have been renewed. The South East building has been more extensively altered; its form suggests that it was originally a horse engine house or gin-gang, with a hip-ended roof; the odd buttress on the west wall would have provided additional support for a heavy east-west beam supporting the wheel mechanism. It was remodelled early in the 20th century with its present gable-ended roof, the east wall (which probably had a corresponding buttress) being removed to make the two broad openings we see today.
