Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
Late 19th century historic map seems to indicate the yard has been reduced in size and building on the north-west side may be new (this may be the result of inaccurate Tithe mapping for Meavy however). Some changes (additional wings / extensions appear to have been added to the remaining buildings to the east and south-east of the yard.
