What this record tells us
Border Archaeology was instructed by Mr John Ballard of Benchmark Projects Ltd to undertake a Standing Building Recording of an outbuilding located to the rear of No. 17 West Street Leominster Herefordshire. The original 17th century building appears to have been a dwelling and/or workshop similar in design and function to others situated in West Street. The building has since undergone several phases of repair and alteration, particularly during the 19th century, when it was extensively rebuilt. Of the original features, the well-preserved roof still survives relatively intact. The gable ends were probably weatherboarded but it is not clear whether the existing weatherboarding is original. There is clear evidence of an additional bay to the south, now demolished, the masonry possibly being reused in the construction of the rectangular building located immediately to the southwest, which appears to be of early 19th century date.
