Full Description
Former loose box and hovel range, Southwood Farm, off Heath Lane, Calke Abbey Estate, Ticknall, built by 1881.
The building was part of an historic fabric survey carried out in 2019. Briefly: 'an L-shaped range, single-storey throughout, constructed of red brick and roofed with clay peg or nib tile (the undersides of the whole range are felted, so it could not be seen which the tiles are). Both the external and internal walls are of brick and no stone footings can be seen on any of the elevations. The bricks measure on average 235mm by 110mm by 70-75mm in size… The loose box and hovel range, since it stands alone, cannot be ascribed a date relative to other buildings, but usefully retains a series of doorways and other structural elements which make use of bullnose brick which was not widely used until after the middle of the 19th century, and in many cases, especially in rural areas, until the 1870s. It seems probable, therefore, that such a date (between 1850-1870) can be given to this range since it is less likely to have been built after the later date due to the above-mentioned agricultural depression. It was present by 1881. The range retains little internally to reflect the original usage.' (1)
