This is our Boar Shed.

When Wakelyns was a pig farm (in the 1970s) the Boar Shed was where the boar lived. The sows would be be brought in one by one from the barn next door.

The piglets then grew in the building which is now the bakery.

For a long time after that the Boar Shed stored cars and other farm vehicles.

We replaced the asbestos roof, put in a new floor (made of timber grown and prepared just over the Waveney in Norfolk), insulated floor (it was just concrete before), clad and insulated the walls inside and out, added doors. The glass panels were upcycled from Amanda’s office in London, when it was refurbing.

Carrie from Natural Habitat uses it as a part time office. But there’s capacity for any new Wakelyns enterprises to use it too.

Come inside. No muddy boots please.
