More model informationAn ice house and Second World War air raid shelter on the west side of Manor House Gardens, Lewisham, London.
It is thought that the ice house was built in 1773 to service the neighbouring Manor House. The attached rooms were used as stables for ponies at the end of the 19th century. In WWII the ice house became a convenient air raid shelter.
The original entrance(s) were to the west side where the exterior ground level is lower. The top of the ice house is completely covered by spoil from the digging of the park’s lake.
The ice house was restored by the Lee Manor Society in 2000 with the architects Timpson Manley.
