Possible 19th century storehouse, Horeshoe Farm (EHER 80832)

Please read our .

Summary

A storehouse which occupies the footprint of an earlier agricultural building that is likely to have had early 19th century origins. Whilst there is a strong possibility that the store broadly respects the footprint of the original building, the repeated modifications, extensions and repairs to the structure have resulted in the apparent total loss of any original building fabric.

Type and Period

Description

May 2022. Heritage assessment. The Bicknacre Priory Pet and Country Supplies Store occupies the footprint of an earlier agricultural building that is likely to have had early 19th century origins. The current building occupies the NW arm of a T-shaped arrangement of building. The other elements of this arrangement of structures fell in to disrepair and were cleared at some point in the late 1980s. Whilst there is a strong possibility that the store broadly respects the footprint of the original building, the repeated modifications, extensions and repairs to the structure have resulted in the apparent total loss of any original building fabric. The extant building and its structural components are of negligible historic or architectural value and no further historic building recording, or analysis, is deemed necessary prior to demolition. <1>
