Description

This is an 18th-century red brick wall with an entrance to an underground ice house located in the back garden of number 43 Manor Lane. The wall provides access to a set of brick storage chambers. Inside, there are two tunnel-vaulted rooms that lead to a narrow tunnel-vaulted passage, which runs south to a deep oval-shaped ice well. There is no entrance from the Manor House Gardens side, although it is known that further chambers, which are now inaccessible, once existed.
