This is the front elevation (west), facing towards the canal.

The building is Grade II listed.

It's located on the corner of Pauldings/Field Lanes.

Fine example of a Flat/Jack arch (nearly straight) over the windows and door to redirect the downward load.

William Polding farmed 50 acres throughout Litherland.

Very interesting Ronnie. My dad lived in Field Lane as a child in the 1920s to 1930s, before they moved to Bark Lane.

He and his brothers would lie awake at night listening to the barges going past. There is a turning point for barges near their house.
