Monument record 2390/3/1 - Remains of farm yard, Purlieu Farm

Trial trenching undertaken in advance of development identified the brick foundations of a 19th-century structure and 20th-century concrete foundations, both associated with a former farmyard and both apparently demolished between 1958 and 1980

{1} A 19th century brick structure, probably a wall, was identified at the north of the site and comparison with old maps of the area suggested that this was constructed between 1884-5 and 1900-1. Part of a concrete structure identified in the trecnhing was also apparently depicted on old maps of the site, seemingly having been constructed in the first half of the 20th century.

Both structures appear to have formed parts of a farmyard and both were apparently demolished between 1958 and 1980.
