Book DescriptionIn the days before refrigeration, icehouses were designed to store ice in bulk for summertime use.This book examines icehouses in Britain, where they were built in increasing numbers from theearly seventeenth century, initially to provide chilled refreshment for the wealthy. By the midnineteenth century most country estates would have had one. Their design improved as scientificknowledge increased and, although the majority of icehouses remained plain, some exuberantstructures were built. Commercial icehouses were erected to serve confectioners, grocers and thefishing industry, for which huge quantities of ice were imported from North America andNorway. A study of both the use and architecture of icehouses, this book sheds light on thesefascinating buildings. This is a new, revised and extended version of the book using newresearch on icehouses from country houses, and including more information on some of thecommercial icehouses, for example those used to preserve fish in great warehouses in Scottishfishing centres.
