Building The Dream From the early 1900s up until the late 1960s, a small black and white cottage existed on the site. A local haulier, George Ashley, parked Livestock Lorries on the site before, in 1954, a brick and concrete piggery and meal house was erected. Pig production continued on the site until 1993, when the building became redundant and fell derelict.

Work commenced but came to a halt in 2017 with just the subfloor and steel structure erected. Purchased by the current owners in 2021, the project was remodelled and work re commenced in early 2022, with the site being occupied once again in December 2023.
