Why it mattered
outbuilding — Knocklong matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This modest outbuilding, which retains much of its original, simple form, is distinguished by the use of high quality materials not usually associated with such functional structures. The well executed limestone walls and brick dressings provide textural and chromatic relief, presenting a striking façade to the streetscape. It forms a group with the adjacent semi-detached stone houses. This building may have been built in association with the nearby former former Maypole Creamery and Knocklong Creamery and Condensed Milk Factory. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
