Standing Building Recording (23 February 2018)

NX 59101 48585 An enhanced building survey was undertaken, 23 February 2018, of a dairy, water tower and steadings in advance of their conversion to holiday units. These buildings, popularly known as the ‘Coo Palace,’ were built by the Manchester industrialist James Brown between 1911 and 1914, and are a locally unique example of farm buildings constructed in a Gothic-revival style. The dairy consists of a nave-and-aisle milking parlour with polychrome faience wall bricks and an attached five-storey water tower and grain store with a castellated top and turret. On the opposite side of a central courtyard is an L-shaped steading block incorporating a cart shed, barn and stables. The principal external features of the dairy and steading block will be retained as part of the development.
