The Coal Barns of Coverdale

Filed under Anthracite - Coal, Barn, Brigantia England, Georgian

“Coal Barns”, are, in the case of Coverdale, and smaller coal producer, often, simply ordinary barns, which have been used, and perhaps partially converted for use as coal storage.

Bridge Barn just south-east of Nathwaite Bridge – Coverdale

Filed under Barn, Brigantia England

The barn that is located closest to Nathwaite Bridge seems important, but is poorly understand and recorded. It’s position, in close proximity to the bridge, together with three arrow-slot style defensive features indicate it may have served to protect the Carlton side of the river from raiders, and is in a perfect position, strategically. Yet, it is not recorded as such, and may be later in its creation, as it does not appear on some earlier maps.
