The increasing range and size of arable farm equipment in the late 19th century led to the construction of extra buildings to house them.

The new buildings usually had slender cast iron columns with wider spaces between them rather than the stone columns of earlier, 19th century cart bays.

The new machinery included reapers and binders, though not yet tractors. The accommodation continued to suit mechanised 20th century farms.
