Dave and I have been doing some work in the garden which involved some digging around the footings below the house. He had wondered for a while, as the house is on a slope whether there had been a cellar under it, like there is next door.
Imagine our surprise when we hit something that wasn't brick. After a lot of digging, we found a door, excavated it with real care and shone a light inside. To our amazement, there was a cellar and there's was loads of boxes and bits of pieces inside.
We hauled them inside, lots of old documents that were still legible that will take a while to go through, odd broken furniture and finally as box that we had to jemmy open. Inside were many metal objects, and a jewelry box, still with velvet on it. There were some rings, a necklace and a locket inside. I can't put up pictures as we have to go to a solicitor to sort out ownership, they may be worth a fortune.
What an surprising day!
