Listed Building record TQ 83 SW 242 - ICE HOUSE IN THE GROUNDS OF HOLE PARK

Summary

GV II Ice house. Probably C18. Summary from record TQ 83 SW 32: Cylindrical Icehouse in a ruinous state. The actual ice store exists below a rectangular concrete casing. The approach tunnel is only visible from its brick floor, a few bricks still standing, and rubble. The Icehouse served Hole Park House in the early 18th century. Reconstruction sketches suggest there may have been a half circular loading bay before the entrance, possibly accessible by steps. The well is tapered slightly downwards and the lower 0.6-1m is full of debris.
