Th cellar as no cooling then but because it was deep and th canal close buy it kept a nice cool tempreture. Trains ran comercially in th late 60's (i can here th whistle now) to Bullers, a copper fabrication place. Just up to th left not on your foto is lime kilns built into th hill to purify it for smelting steel. Iv fond memories of th place and even camped there in my youth. This year i did a video of th steam train (i bet it wont up load on here). Ill add some scand fotoes i took in th early 1990's in a min. Thanks for th memories Vince..

If it's of any interest I took this piece of video while I was there in 2019. I took it using the video function on my camera so the quality isn't the best.
