Sladdens Barn - photographs

To accompany Tony Jerram's article about Sladdens Barn, here are some photographs showing the barn before and after its conversion. The photographs were kindly loaned by Patsy Miller (née Sladden).

"The Barn, Seward House" is all that appears on this picture
which dates from the first half of the twentieth century.
The decorations suggest a Christmas celebration.

Photograph dated 1972 shortly before conversion work.

About 1969.
