Ice House
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 25 Mar 2010
Built around 1758 for Poynton Towers, a house which has long since disappeared. The listing indicates that this was quite a complex ice house with a later antechamber apparently used for food preparation before storage in the ice house - an early form of deep freeze in addition to the normal purpose for the storage of ice. Listed Grade II.
