Images from a Historic Building Survey at Trigpoint 49, Staithes, North Yorkshire, 2016

This digital archive comprises images from a historic building survey, which was undertaken between 31st October till 1st November 2016, by Headland Archaeology at Trigpoint 49, Staithes of a First World War barrack block. The survey comprised a descriptive and photographic survey of eight of the remaining structures prior to their demolition as part of the redevelopment of the site. The survey identified that although the external walls and many of the windows of the majority of these structures were likely to be original the internal layouts of all the structures had been altered. The alterations were commensurate with the use of the buildings as holiday accommodation over the last 90 years. Four of the buildings were typical barrack style accommodation blocks comprising rectangular single storey timber huts. The external elevations of three of these displayed minor changes to the original design, the fourth had been significantly altered. Three other blocks had also been altered with additional wings and central corridors added to the original blocks. The remains of a brick building on the site also indicated later phase development of the site. Six further blocks not included in the survey had been modified and were still in use as holiday cottages.
