Wykeham Ice House - North Yorkshire (HFF everyone)

Wykeham Ice House - North Yorkshire (HFF everyone)
The 18th century Ice House, near Fishpond Wood, was restored as part of the Wykeham and Ruston Millennium Project.

A brick arch/dome the size of a double-decker bus half buried into an earth bank and underneath, continuing the brick, a deep "egg shaped chamber". The ice would have been collected from the pond or brought in by train after a mild winter, and then covered with straw. It is now a grade II listed building.

Narvik 08, Helena Ferreira, Ronald Losure, Sami Serola (inactive) and 37 other people have particularly liked this photo

Beautiful drifts of snowdrops and a nice lead in with the fence taking your eye to the rather posh ice house. Most of the ones I've seen in Fife have been much more utilitarian ones.

Doug Shepherd club has replied to Jean
Thanks very much Jean, pleased that you like it. t is possible that it belonged to a rather large nearby hotel, hence the posh!

All the best, Doug

This is a really terrific shot Doug, - beautifully composed and I love the light and shade and the spring flowers. Great to have the information too. I once read a book called The Ice House by Minette Walters and always wondered what an ice house looks like so thank you for this. A belated HFF and have a good week ahead

Doug Shepherd club has replied to Ecobird club
Thanks very much Carol, glad that you like it. I have no idea if this s a typical ice house but it must have been quite expensive to build so probably belonged to the local hotel or rich landowner.

All the best, Doug
