Engine House, 2 Leigh Court Barns, Leigh

The building on the right of the two former oast houses is known as the Engine House. These buildings seem originally to have been connected to a farm. The Engine House appears to be in use as offices and maybe the adjoining buildings are as well.

Leigh is a large parish but has declined in recent decades because of the decline in the hop industry. The road here is near the church and the entrance to the famous tithe barn.
