Wykeham Ice House - North Yorkshire (HFF everyone)

22 Feb 2018 41 51 845
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.
