Monument record MDR8012 - Icehouse (site of), Butterley Park, Ripley
Type and Period (1)
- ICEHOUSE (Post Medieval - 1540 AD to 1900 AD)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
The site of the ice house in Butterley Park is indicated by a circular depression with the remains of the entrance passage (brick). (1)
All above ground remains have been demolished. (2)
The condition of this ice-house is very poor; in fact, little remains. It is south of the hall next to a pond and is shown on the OS 6" maps of 1900 and 1921 (3)
Modern map evidence shows that the area has been redeveloped and it is unclear whether even below-ground remains survive. (4)
