The trouble with old farm buildings like these is that unless you can see inside them, and get a good idea of proportions, it's really hard to tell what they were originally built for. I think this is a stable block and machinery barn- if the former were for cows the doors would be wider and a bit lower. Anyway, I thought I'd show it to you as something fairly typical in Southeast England-a group buildings of good age and unclear purpose. Just the kind of thing to baffle Spencer with on one of his walks. ;-)
