Images from an Archaeological Building Survey at Middleforth Hall Farm 2022

This digital archive contains images from an archaeological building survey that was required prior to the demolition of the barns at Middleforth Hall Farm, Penwortham. The work was carried out by Steven Price of The Archaeology Co between 6th September 2022 and 17th October 2022. The farmhouse dates from the early 18th century. Barn 1 was erected in the late 18th / early 19th century in the typical Lancashire style, with shippon to one side of the hand flail threshing barn. A further shippon was added to the northern side in the mid - late 19th century, around the same time that barn 2 was erected as a stable. The western extension to barn 1 was erected in the early 20th century.
