Early 20th century timber framed equipment shed, Bradwell Hall (EHER 81591)

An early 20th century equipment shed for farm implements. It is timber framed and clay with softwood weatherboarding. The roof is boarded and tiled.

June 1999. Heritage assessment. An early 20th century equipment shed for farm implements. It has been given the extra height and depth to allow such things as hay elevators, as well as carts to be housed under cover. It is traditional in facing North to keep the open side away from the normal prevailing weather be it hot or wet. It is an excellent building in good condition clad with softwood boarding on a softwood timber frame with a boarded and tiled roof. The tops of the open bay posts support Sampson plates to spread the roof load from the relatively small wallplate. The timber is mainly reciprocating sawn, the roof boards are circular sawn, putting it earlier rather than later into the 20th century. The building abuts EHER 81592 to the West. <1>
