Description
Hill's Yard is a rectangular block of stables and cowsheds, currently used as the premises of a small engineering firm. It was built in 1891 at the expense of Alexander Henderson of Buscot Park, as noted on a plaque on the roadside wall of the stables. The building was most likely designed by Sir Ernest George and Alfred Yeates, as it is part of a group of estate buildings created for Henderson in the 1890s. The structure features rock-faced stone with stone dressings and machine-tiled roofs. Some of the original stalls remain, while others have been removed to make space for machinery.
