Ice house at Towneley Hall - Burnley

Ice house in the grounds of Towneley Park, believed to have been built C17 and formerly used to store ice for use in Towneley Hall. The ice house is constructed of brick and stone, under an earth mound. It was repaired in 1976 and was open to the public by appointment. The Council has now removed saplings, brambles, and ivy. A bat survey is planned, followed by a condition survey to identify priorities for action.
