Why it mattered
unknown — Freshford matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A substantial fragment of an early building possibly originally having associations with the industrial heritage of Freshford. Now in ruins the wall presents an appealing feature of some Romantic quality overlooking the Nuenna River. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
