Place & story

Storage behind limewashed walls

The former corn store on Barrack Street, recorded as Bride Valley Stores, was standing by 1904. Its two-storey rectangular block has a central entrance reached by two steps and widely spaced windows protected by iron bars. The architectural survey recorded limewashed walls, brickwork around the openings and a corrugated-iron roof. Its plain storage form adds a small industrial building to the churches, houses and public institutions of Tallow. [2]
