History

This extensive model farm was begun by the Assheton-Smith family in the later C19 with the wealth created by the Dinorwic Slate Quarries, which enabled them to carry out continual improvements to farming practice on the Vaynol Estate. The 3 ranges S of the Long Barn appear later than those to the N.

Exterior

Built of rock-faced stone with a slate roof. Single storey animal accommodation, with food processing units and stores. Voussoirs and keystones to window and door openings; the former boarded above louvres and with ventilation slots above. Broad entry doors, one blocked. The N gable end has rectangular louvred loft opening over a boarded door. On the roof, louvred ventilators, a square central ventilator, skylights and a chimney stack at the S end.
