Berry Hill Ice House, Maidenhead, Buckinghamshire

The ice house within the grounds of the former Berry Hill House is a well preserved noneteenth century structure to be demolished in advance of the Environment Agency's Maidenhead, Windsor and Eton Flood Alleviation scheme. It is a relatively modest, brick ice-house, consisting of three square plan, barrel vaulted chambers, with a ventiliation shaft between the lowest chamber and ground floor level. Due to the local importance of the feature, and the previously small amount of research undertaken on it, a programme of archaeological building recording was undertaken prior to its removal.
