Northern Archaeological Associates (now Ecus) was commissioned to undertake a programme of historic builiding recording of a detached barn and intergrated house (19 New Road) on land off New Road, Radcliffe, Greater Manchester. Planning permission was granted by Bury MBC (Planning Ref: 60723) for residential development in April 2017, which included demolition of the existing buildings including the barn. The investigations revealed that the barn is wholly brick built and is likely to have been constructed during a single phase (with later alterations, blocking and internal remodelling), with the barn once comprising the whole building. The general appearance and fabric suggest an early 19th-century date, and the north-western end was probably converted to a house prior to 1893. The barn was probably used as a combination barn with threshing floor and cow house, the most distinctive feature being two very tall arches set within the cross walls. The building has survived relatively intact, although is now detached from its relationship with the rest of the farmstead at Top 'o th' Bank, which has been extensively remodelled and converted to residential use.
