SX85NE YALBERTON ROAD, Higher Yalberton 1947-1/3/178 (South side) Cider barn at Higher Yalberton Farm

GV II

Cider barn belonging to Higher Yalberton Farmhouse, Yalbarton Road, (qv). Early C19. Local grey limestone rubble; corrugated-iron roof half hipped at W end. PLAN: L-plan building with a long range for storing cider barrels and a cross-wing at the east end to accommodate the machinery, now worked off a tractor which operates in an outshut at the E end. Apple juice is delivered from the press into a tank under the floor, sited in the wing. The slope of the land allows loft level access to the wing from the orchard to the S for tipping apples into the press. Rear outshut, (entirely clad with corrugated-iron) to the storage section, incoporating extra storage for barrels and tanks. EXTERIOR: Main block lofted, wing single-storey to accommodate the height of the press. Long 4-window N front. The wing, to the E, is slightly broken forward with wide paired doors under a timber lintel. The main block has regular fenstration of 4 ground and 4 first-floor 2-light timber mullioned windows with bead-moulded mullions, diagonally-set iron stanchions and internal shutters. Ground-floor windows have red breccia voissoirs, first-floor windows have timber lintels. The right end has paired doors below a loft door, the left end has has a large, low window into the tractor outshut. INTERIOR: The lofted storage section is divided into aisles with bays by timber posts which are notched to support longitudinal timbers. Lower tier of barrels sit on longitudinal timbers, second tier propped with short pieces of wood. Loft contains more barrels. 13 collar rafter pegged roof trusses. The wing, with 4 similar trusses, contains the press. Apples are put into a hopper from a platform from the S door. The apples are pressed in layers divided by coarse material. HISTORY: The barn serves 6 orchards. Paignton was well-known for cider production in the early C19. Yalberton and Higher Yalberton Farms, both producing cider, are the chief survivals of this industry. This purpose-built cider barn is of especial local interest, but is also a rare survival in Devon, both larger and more mechanised than usual.
