Old cellar, Northumberland.

Huge thanks to the|td4 for tippng us off about this. Me and Sausage had a potter around the moors and checked out this cellar. Its the only remains of an 18th century mansion which was demolished a long time ago. Sausage stood guard at the entrance while I took a few shots.

Because of the location its totally un-vandalised, no graffiti, no beer cans, only lots of very old broken glass from way back.
Pictures are very rough, I was in a hurry!
















Thanks for looking

What an unusual find. It's nice to know that something remained from a demolished mansion.
Good call, BigL...fab photos, too.

You could almost live down there! cracking photos, is that a coal shute in pic 3 ?

Nice cellar. Groovy

No thats just rubble and earth!

nice find

Great find and unusual,it looks in very good condition and very well constructed,you just never know what is beneath your feet

Ooo very nice pics mate.

They came out well considering the rush you had.

Some fabulous stonework there. The floors are second to none in my opinion - it is darkest deepest Northumberland here and those nasty Border Reivers would have a field day in there.

Cracking shots mate


In the first image, are those two hinges ? ............. the only remains of what must have been a very wide door judging by the size of them.

Thanks man, yes they are old handmade hinges. It was quite a wide doorway.

Nice find there, excellent condition.
I like the wine/food cellar, did the shelves have any labels on?
One I went in, had slate numbers for the shelves etc...

No labels at all mate. But I know what you mean, I saw some like that in the cellar of Ravensworth Castle in Gateshead.
