Images from Historic Building Recording Work at Pockerley Farmbuildings, Beamish, County Durham, January 2023

This collection comprises images from Historic Building Recording work at Pockerley Farmbuildings, Beamish, County Durham. This work was undertaken by The Archaeological Practice in January 2023. The photographic recording of the redundant buildings complex was undertaken to accompany a written description in January 2023, using digital photography. All elevations were photographed as far as possible face-on and from a consistent height and perspective. Where possible, all record photographs included a scaled ranging pole. Where it was not possible to capture an entire elevation in a single photograph because of the constricted nature of the site, a series of partial elevations were recorded along with an oblique overall view of the full elevation. A programme of building recording has been carried out on redundant farm-buildings associated with Pockerley Farmhouse in advance of their proposed conversion for combined use as a pottery and café within the Beamish Open Air Museum complex. This largely-derelict complex of buildings forming the southern of two ranges east of the part medieval farmhouse comprises a barn (The North Range) with attached West and East Ranges enclosing a yard to the south, the latter abutting the west end of an apparently older South-East Range.
