Scope and Content Eaves detail, Corseyard Farm, Dumfries & Galloway Corseyard Farm was built between 1911 and 1914 as a model dairy unit on Knockbrex estate, 8.8km south of Gatehouse of Fleet. This remarkable steading was built for James Brown, a wealthy cloth merchant from Manchester, who undertook an ambitious building programme after buying the estate in 1895. This shows part of the steading roof made of red asbestos tiles, laid in a diamond pattern. Below is a double row of decorative salt-glazed pantiles set above the eaves. There are many other interesting architectural features, design techniques and attractive materials used in this highly unusual steading. The design of Corseyard would seem to be linked to the Arts and Crafts Movement, a style popular between 1860 and 1925. Inspired by the great medieval cathedrals, it sought to create beauty in an industrial age through the work of skilled craftsmen and the use of fine building materials.
