Full description

Walker, D., 1977, Cider Cellar (Worksheet). SDV338655.

Cider cellar at the western end of Scriggins Farm buildings, immediately to the right of the farm entrance from the lane. The building is of stone to a height of at least 6', but may be of cob above, under rendering; slate roof. A flight of stone steps outside leads to an apple loft, where apples were stored and then fed down to the cider press through a hopper. The press (now gone) had a metal screw.40-50 years ago when 14 men were employed, they would come each morning and line up to have their firkins (a small cask on a rope or strap) filled with cider, and again after lunch. Only oaten straw was used to make the cheeses. The door to the cellar was always kept locked and only the farmer or foreman had a key. The floor is cobbled. Now used for storage. Other details: Sketch.
