Introduction
This collection comprises images from a building survey at Dean Gate Farm undertaken by The Archaeology Co. between May and June 2022.
An appropriate record has been made of the building to Historic England level 2/3 standards. Phased floor plans were required. Photographs were taken with an Olympus E600 Digital SLR camera (12 Megapixels) in RAW format. All detailed photographs and general shots contain a 2-metre ranging-rod, discretely positioned, sufficient to independently establish the scale of all elements of the building and its structure.
Dean Gate Farm appears to date from at least the early 18th century, with the name recorded in 1724. A building is possibly shown here on Wm Seniors map of 1620, which would place it in the early 17th century. The present building does not contain much surviving historic fabric, with the majority of the surviving fabric dating from the mid-late 19th century. Major alterations from the 1969 redevelopment have caused most of the historic structure to be lost.
