| 1986/3 | SBC Minutes / 17 March 1986 | Bayleaf Development - major areas / Richard Harris (explained) with the aid of diagrams the major areas of the plan (see hard copy or pdf): 1) The cross hatched area would be planted to mimic a Wealden shaw which would eventually be a stockproof barrier. There would be tree planting of dense brambley undergrowth; 2) The boundary south of the orchard would represent a stockproof managed laid hedge. Around the garden and yard would be a continuous woven fence; 3) The north and east side of the area marked yard would be a rough, stockproof pale fence. The defined area would be: i) Bayleaf and Garden; ii) Yard - a farmyard for folding stock and manufacture of manure; iii) Area outside backdoor would be a domestic area; iv) Close or paddock continuous with the orchard. Enlargement of the orchard was proposed by a third row of apple trees; v) Cowfold Barn and associated lean-to cattlesheds and cart shed.

| 1986/3 | SBC Minutes / 17 March 1986 | Bayleaf Development - exhibition / Proposals for the formal exhibition on agricultural history: Richard Harris produced drawings of a plan showing an accurate relationship between the existing buildings and planting and the proposed development. A range of 19thC buildings (Trumley Farmstead) had been offered to the Museum. They were of good quality course flint work with an inner skin of brick. The internal width was 16' with King post roof trusses and freestanding posts to the yard. He recommended that the structure be used for the purpose of housing the exhibition, but as the whole complex was too large for the allotted area at the Museum it would be possible to re-use and adapt the roof structure. He proposed that the toilet block in the Kirdford cattle sheds should be retained but the brick front wall altered to become continuous and access would be at the rear of the sheds. The whole yard area would be made attractive with the intention of using it as a 'staging post' for the Museum visitors. |
