| Description | Two former late 19th century sheds associated with Upper Mill, Wakefield (an early 19th century water mill). One, a single storey brick building, thought to be a store or granary, while the other may have been a stable.
In February 2007 Archaeological Services WYAS (ASWYAS) undertook a programme of building recording in advance of the buildings’ demolition , to clear the site for the construction of The Hepworth (a new public art gallery).
During the recording it was noted that the earlier outbuilding (the one furthest north) retained a few features indicating a probable use as a store or granary, including the fact that it was well ventilated and had a raised floor. The second building retained a hay feeder and a cobble floor, suggesting that it had been used for housing animals, and given its urban environment was probably a stable.
For further details, and to view the photographic record please see the final report (ASWYAS, 2007) a copy of which is on file in the HER. |
