SNN111336 - Building recording at 42-54 Broad Street, Earls Barton, Northamptonshire

A former workshop dating to the late 19th century/early 20th century is to be converted into a two bedroom house. The workshop was built at the end of the 19th century and is contemporary with two nearby brick cottages on Broad Street. The workshop was built as a response to the growing boot and shoe industry at the time, when other similar developments, both large and small, were taking place around the village. Building recording of the house to English Heritage Level II standards was undertaken to satisfy a condition applied to the planning permission.
