Description

Allotment Farm is shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map (surveyed 1858) as a range of buildings set around a courtyard with an opening to the south and a gingang off the northern range. The farm appears to have been demolished and rebuilt partly as the Allotment Mill (HER 2176) by 1894 (as shown in the second edition Ordnance Survey). It appears to have been demolished at the same time as the Allotment Mill.
