A programme of desk-based study, supplemented by photographic building recording was undertaken to examine the history and development of a building in Victoria Yard, off Southgate, Sleaford. The building appears on late 18th century maps, at which time it was a detached structure to the rear of a property fronting Southgate. Evidence from other premises behind the street frontages nearby would suggest the building was probably used for agricultural purposes rather than habitation. During the 19th century the building formed part of the curtilage of the New White Hart Hotel, later the Victoria. At that time it is likely to have been used as storage or for servant accommodation. Examination of the building suggests it is of 18th century origin. During the 19th century a fireplace was installed in an attic room that also had dormer windows. Further alterations in the 20th century involved the replacement of the roof that resulted in the removal of the dormers and chimney outlet to the fireplace. Examination of the roof space revealed wooden trusses were of tie-beam and collar form. Many of the timbers were fixed together with timber pegs.{2}{3}
