I haven’t posted any of these photos before, but that is because we haven’t really worked out what to do with this space. The cellar runs under what we have been number 8 and number 9. I suspect that they have always been a single cellar since there is only one stair case (which is from number 8).
They are remarkably clean and dry. This is no doubt due to the amount of air circulating through the holes in the walls. The roof is made up of large stone slabs and this makes up the floor of the room above. The walls are all made of stone that has been whitewashed with stone shelves, presumably for storing food.
These cellars are original to the property so are likely to date back to around 1750, maybe earlier.
