Piggeries At Towers Farm Arnewood 150 Metres North-West Of Arnewood Court

The piggeries at Towers Farm Arnewood, built around 1880 for ATT Peterson, are a model pig farm constructed of mass concrete in lifts. The buildings feature vaulted roofs that were likely built in place using formwork. Located behind Downlands Cottage off Barrows Lane, the farm complex consists of three rows of buildings arranged parallel to a north-west/south-east axis. Each building is single storey and two bays wide, with a moulded cornice running along the sides and rising along the vault of the roof at the ends. There are various openings for windows and doors, along with some chimneys that are probably made of rendered brick. Currently, the piggeries are derelict and in poor condition, with one range having collapsed suddenly in the early 1980s. These buildings are significant as an early example of concrete construction and as a representation of a late 19th-century planned pig farm.
