Site of late 19th century stable, Gate Farm (EHER 81883)

Partially demolished. The site of the southern demolished room of a partially extant former stable building (EHER 81643). It was probably of the same construction as the extant remains which are single-storey and built of red brick, covered with a slate roof with red tile ridge. A door in the south wall of the still extant stable formerly provided access to this space.

The southern demolished room of a partially extant former stable building (EHER 81643). Only the east wall of the structure remains and to its original height. This is topped with a row of tiles. This south room was probably of the same construction as the extant remains which are single-storey and built of red brick, covered with a slate roof with red tile ridge. A door in the south wall of the still extant stable formerly provided access to this space. It can be seen in an historic photograph in <1> and appears to have been continuous with EHER 81643, sharing the same uninterrupted roof. The building is shown on the 1st edition OS map as forming a continuous 'T-shaped' range with the (still extant) stable to the north and an open-fronted east-west range which adjoins it to its west (EHER 81884). By the 2nd edition OS map, this is depicted as a separate structure, having been closed at the east end where it joins the (now demolished) south room of the stable. <1> <2> <3> Google Earth imagery from 2000 shows the building had been demolished by this time. The date and circumstances of destruction are not known. <4>
