Early 19th century shelter shed, Bradwell Hall (EHER 81589)

Partially destroyed. An early 19th century timber framed curved shelter shed with asbestos roof. When surveyed in 1999, the two curved ends were the only remaining original fabric, and between April 2020 and March 2022, the West curved end and the central part of the shed were demolished.

June 1999. Heritage assessment. This shelter shed, still open to the South, is of very basic construction most likely from the early 19th century and could be the Northern building on the 1839 Tithe award. It uses very simple stick stud walls to support boarding. In size they are not much more than the wattle staves found in early buildings. It has been extended to the South to nearly double its width and the two curving ends are now the only original parts. It now has a low pitch asbestos covered roof supported on a mish-mash of frame. A good remnant of an example of very basic farm building, most likely by the farm workers, to provide shelter again from the East and NE. The South elevation at the East end abuts EHER 81588. <1> Between April 2020 and March 2022, the Westernmost two thirds of the building was demolished. <2>
