Farm Buildings erected for the Earl of Macclesfield, at Shirburn, Oxon., 1857. View '...without the roofs...One main feature in the buildings is the extensive nature of the machinery department, and the several purposes for which steam power is made available - viz., for thrashing the corn of the farm, cutting chaff for the horses and cattle, crushing oats and beans, grinding corn, drawing water from a deep well to supply a cistern, from which the water is conveyed by iron piping throughout all parts of the homestead, and also for sawing timber, both in the round and in plank, for the use of the estate...The covered yards form another feature worthy of remark. They afford dry and healthy accommodation for cattle, and also receptacles for the manure...Four separate systems of cattle-feeding are provided for in this establishment...The architect of these buildings is Mr. Wilkinson...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
