The oast was a kiln, with a plenum chamber fired by charcoal at ground floor and the drying floor directly above. The steep pitched roof channelled the hot air through the hops to the top. The stowage, was the barn section, it had a cooling floor and press at first floor and storage area at ground floor.

Beacon Mill There are three main types of windmill in Great Britain: post mills, smock mills and tower mills.

The smock mill is of a timber-framed construction with weatherboarded, steeply sloping external walls.  It was built on a brick base.  A pivoting wooden top with sails moved independently of the main structure so that the sails could be positioned towards the wind.  This was controlled by a tail fan.

"Border View" The border that is viewed is a puzzle. The parish boundary runs down the lane in the foreground, the local authority boundary runs a few metres away to the left. The county boundary would be very long view and unlikely to be visible from such a low bungalow.
