Description View of 19th century croft buildings in ruinous state, thatched roof no longer extant; Smithfield, Shetland.

Date 23/4/2015

Collection Records of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, London, England

Catalogue Number DP 240941

Category On-line Digital Images

Scope and Content A small group of early 19th century farm buildings, including one listed as being a single storey barn with ‘thatched roof with linkstanes surviving’ to the south (rear) of the main farmhouse. The entire group of buildings are in a ruinous condition and have been on the Buildings at Risk (BAR) Register since 2006 (BAR reference number 3066), at which time it was noted that ‘the thatched roof of the rear barn [has] been lost’. BAR visits in 2010 and 2014 record the increasing decline of the condition of the buildings. The listing description for these buildings should be updated accordingly.
