Report, Photographs, and Site Drawing from a Historic Building Survey of a Circular Structure at Home Farm, Hillend, Mottram, Tameside, March 2023

This collection comprises a PDF report, digitised site plan drawing, and photographs, related to a Historic England Level 2/3 survey, carried out on a small circular ruined structure at Home Farm, Hillend, Mottram, Tameside. The work satisfied a planning condition, for conversion of the structure to a washing facility, as part of a proposed campsite. The structure was surveyed by Mark Fletcher of Matrix Archaeology, and the results of the work were presented in the Building Record Survey report, produced by J W Conservation and Matrix Archaeology Ltd, in April 2023. The ruin was located within the estate of Hillend House, which was occupied by the industrialist Chapman family; and was probably constructed during the last decades of the nineteenth century, as an astronomical observatory.
