Images from a Level 3 Analytical Historic Buildings Survey Record, at Barn at Talbot Street, Chipping, Preston, Lancashire, 2023

This collection comprises the photographs from a Level 3 Analytical Historic Buildings Survey Record, undertaken by Steven Price of The Archaeology Co., at Barn at Talbot Street, Chipping, Preston, Lancashire in August 2023. The building recorded was built in the late 18th century as a Lancashire barn with two central threshing bays and a two bay shippon to the east. A further bay lay to the west likely as a stable or storage area. In the early 19th century the extension was added to the west. The barn served the Talbot Inn, the occupiers of which were recorded as both innkeepers and farmers. Through the 19th century the extension was likely used as a coach house and stable for the inn, rather than for farm purposes. The building was stripped out internally around 2011, removing all interior details. Those that remain suggest the barn had been altered, with concrete floors and boskins installed.
