Mid 19th century timber framed dairy at Morris Green Farm, Morris Green (EHER 80497)

The dairy is a three-bay timber framed building clad in weatherboards and roofed with corrugated asbestos. The roof is damaged and the frame has failed, leading to a partial collapse. The building appears on the First Edition OS Map, and as such was built between 1848 and 1876, during the period of Victorian High Farming.

August 2011. Heritage assessment. The dairy is a three-bay timber framed building clad in weatherboards and roofed with corrugated asbestos. The roof is damaged and the frame has failed, leading to a partial collapse. Inside, the building is braced with very recent timber struts. The weatherboards on the East and South elevations appear mostly original, fastened with wrought iron nails with some repairs. The West elevation has been completely reboarded with new studwork in the SW corner this year. The floor is of poured concrete with a deep central gully to run the fluids out into the yard. The building was used as a small milking parlour in the mid 20th century. The dairy and the North stable appear on the First Edition OS map showing both were built between 1848 and 1876, during the period of Victorian High Farming. <1>
