Unlisted farm buildings at Ashton Hall Farm. A photograph from 1993 (see 5) depicts a building located on the south-eastern side of the yard. It comprises a two storey barn with large doorway (with wooden lintel) and small cupola. This building is depicted on the tithe map (see 2). To the immediate north-east is an attached single storey two bay cart shed. A further photograph from 1993 (see 5) depicts a building located on the north-western side of the yard. The building is two storey on the south-eastern side and single on the north-western, both elements appear contemporaneous and share a long sloping roof. Function uncertain, but it's modern name suggests it may have been a dairy. Both buildings are of brick with slate roofs. The buildings were converted to housing in the mid to late 1990s.
