SMurF Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 Tha yard was left unused and was not maintained it just accumulated junk Have started clearing the yard up but the buildings are too far gone Shame realy I think that the buildings are a nice part of farming history which these days are either converted to houses or knocked down which i personally don't like I would rather see them restored to origonal and used as storage sheds but modern day farming has no use for this size of buildings and thus like these go to ruin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest quangova Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I agree with you SMURF on the buildings, they are fine examples of UK agricultural history, you can get substantial grants for restoration and by not converting them to homes or holiday lets. ?Theres a big push on with farmers to do this in Essex at the moment, allthough as always the funding is limeted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest quangova Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Those sort of buildings are normally 1930's to 60's, allthough they could even be eamples of the buildings that were put up in the late 1800's in the era of "Victorian High Farming" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ford Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 i've helped save some old farm barns in the past, but for people to live in. which i think is better than demolishing them for good. the better of two evils. keeping all the old features. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 is that NH2's new beer trolley belarus :D :D as for the sheds it is a shame to see them as housing but at least it's still there . I have great joy in pointing out to my kids refubished sheds & telling them thet i used to milk cows there , or stack bales in there . Dillington estate has just refurbished Park Farm & is now called Eagle wood park but the whole thing is where i used to do all these things & it's good to be able to tell others how & what the old mill,trailer shed ,tractor shed ,cow stalls ,used to be like when they were regularly in use when it was still a farm.
