I love these old farms . As a lad i was reared on a cattle farm and miss it so much . These buildings will last for ever if maintained .What a waste if this farm gets turned in to some developers housing estate . We should start listing these farms and making them a protected property . If you travel around Lancashire there are so many farms like this . We might just need these farms in the future and our councils should be buying them up and not for F housing . Who's going to feed us if things go wrong .
That machine is a hey cutting machine . Its would have cut and tied into small rooks ready to be moved and stored. Once the barley or wheat had been cropped . Great bedding for pigs . The remaining grain in the cuttings would have kept the pigs happy for hours looking for the remaining grain . I had 200 pigs at one time and was fully organic so all of my feed had to be organic . Barley , Oats and wheat .
the gate at the begiining sat next to where it were removed from you could see the hinge brackets in the wall the soggy carpet in the first house isnt damp its the contents of the storage tank you should have cottond onto that since the house isnt wooden ground floor its concrete the thieves havent finished they will be back to get the rest & the farm looks farmilliar is it in yorkshire by any chance

They are a favorite of mine to explore, it seems more and more are becoming like this one. I have more farms coming up.

Thanks for the info
That machine looks like a reaper. The M.H for Massey-Harris

Looks like a pig farm. Not cattle
Possibly
The feeding troughs are at floor level for pigs. The troughs with the arches underneath would maybe have been for horses or cows
