Clarendon woolshed, 2007-8
Aug. 10th, 2013 06:53 pmThis is a two part post :)
When the National Trust obtained Clarendon homestead in the 1960s, it came with just a few acres of land which didn't include most of the farm buildings. The extra land and buildings, including the woolshed, were added in the 1980s. I think the middle of the decade. (*pokes Google, doesn't help*) I do remember an open day at the time--maybe to show off the new additions, maybe the annual open day--which included a shearing demonstration in the woolshed.
I'm not sure what was done with the building after that. I don't remember it being open to the visiting public. (The Trust lacked the funds to develop it.) Certainly when I took these photos, it wasn't open. (The manager at the time told me to go where I wanted (and there are keys to the coach house) so I did.)
( Inside a bit different )

Nice rustic scene, although the post & rail fence is fairly new. The woolshed itself possibly pre-dates the main house and was built in the 1830s, or maybe earlier.
The left side (two windows & door) is the main shearing area. On the right is a side room where stuff like classing & baling goes on.
