Hill View

Statement of Significance

The Hillview mud brick building is of historic and scientific significance as a late example of this type of
construction and because of the possibility of revealing something of the construction techniques used,
which can often only be observed in older, badly deteriorated examples.

Physical Description

The rectangular, mud brick building is starting to deteriorate with exposure of the walls to the elements. The
building has been re-roofed in recent times but the walls suffer from lack of protection as there is very little
overhang. With better protection the life of the building could easily be extended for it has not deteriorated yet to
the point of no return. Some walls have been rendered at an earlier time however the resulting moisture trapped in
walls could be a problem. For a building of this period (if c1920 is accurate) it is a very late example of mud brick
construction and closer examination may reveal something of techniques used.
