Barn Approximately 50 Metres West Of Oak House

SANDWELL MB OAK ROAD, West Bromwich SO 99 SE 4/119 Barn approximately 50 metres west of Oak House 10.11.72 GV II

Agricultural building, now workshop and store. C17. Timber-framed with brick in fill. Comprises a south range and a wing at right angles extending to the north which appears to be of the same build. The east gable wall of the south range has exposed framing in square panels, tension braces, and a truss with tie-beam, two collars, and side purlins. The principal posts have redundant mortices which suggest that this range once extended further to the east. This shortening must have happened before the adjacent barn (qv) was built to the east. The east wall of the rear wing has had some of its stud- work removed and has two wide modern workshop doors. The west wall of the front range and the north wall of the rear wing both have tie-beam trusses with two collars with V-struts above the upper collar. Interior of the front range is undivided and open to the roof and is of two bays. The open truss has raking struts. One straight brace remains from the tie-beam to a principal post. The wind-braces are slightly curved. Interior of rear wing not accessible at time of survey.
