SD 91 SW LITTLEBOROUGH SYKE ROAD (south side) 3/63 Barn, shippon and workshop adjoining - west of Syke House and farmhouse
- II Shippon, barn and former workshop. Early C19. Hammer-dressed watershot stone with graduated stone slate roof. Barn and shippon (left) were added to by 3 bays and 2 storeys and again later by another bay. The barn has opposed segmental- arched cart entries with keystones and a circular window above. It is separated from the shippon door by a window with round-arched head. The 3-bay workshop has a central door with square-cut stone surround and segmental-arched head flanked by windows with wedge lintels. The upper floor and the gable feature to the central bay have semi-circular- arched window openings with dropped keystones.The added bay to right has a door on ground floor, a similar first floor window and a hipped roof. The rear is treated similarly except that there is no gable over the centre bay and the door has a dressed surround. Walls and a cast-iron fence enclose the front yard. It is unlikely that a building with such architectural pretentions was built entirely for farming purposes. The workshop was possibly built to process limestone for farming and other purposes which could have been brought from glacial deposits in the north in a raw state. The cast-iron trough in the front enclosure may have been a horse-powered lime press.
