Full Description
The Piggery was constructed between 1894 and 1898 and a second constructed between 1909 and 1913 to serve the Workhouse. The internal sections of the piggery are still visible although the building is now used as a general garden store. The eastern piggery to the south east of the site survived until 1964 and it may be that the piggeries were used to provide food for the site up to and during the Second World War.(1)
