This structure, now disused, would have been used to stack milk churns for collection by a dairy. It was once part of the Cotswold Community.
Cotswold Community, Ashton Keynes

The now-defunct Cotswold Community occupied a former farm. It had a complex history starting in the 1930s when a group of German Christians calling themselves the Bruderhof seeking refuge from Hitler's Germany settled here. In the early 1940s the Germans were, perhaps unfairly, offered the choice of being interned or being resettled to the Americas and the site was taken over by the UK Government and converted into an 'Approved School', a polite term for a penal institute for boys who had transgressed in some way and been punished by the courts. In 1973 Approved Schools, or this one at least, became 'Community Homes with Education'. It closed in 2011 and the site became derelict.
