Images from Historic Building Survey Work at North End Farm, Halewood, Merseyside, March to September 2022

This collection comprises images from historic building survey work at North End Farm, Halewood, Merseyside. This was undertaken by Paul Butler Associates between March and September 2022. An archaeological building survey was required prior to the demolition and refurbishment of five farm buildings. The threshing barn at North End farm was erected in the mid - late 19th century, and shows no evidence of a former engine house. However, the dovecot was shown to be connected to the barn on the 1892 OS map, which may suggest that it had been converted to hold an engine by this time. The fact that the barn was built without an engine suggests that they either used a portable machine or that hand flailing was still used.
