A notable feature of this building is the inscriptions in good late Georgian style, some dated 1879, similar to those on Wreaks Causeway End bridge (q.v.) and local buildings. West barn south-west elevation has direction signs; "BROUGHTON" and "ULVERSTON/5 ML". Others to south and east elevations of barns, west stable and east stable said to be names of stallions standing at stud at the Ship Inn and their owners, e.g. "JOHN GRAHAM/&TOPSMAN", "GALLOWAY JACK"; others: "THE/CHARMING MONTH/OF MAY", "DREARY WINTER", "COME AND TURN THE HANDLE", are similar to those on Wreaks Causeway End bridge." |
