 Grubbing around under Vincent reveals a large floor space under the ward itself.  Odd looking cast iron metal bars are fitted to the walls.  These are the remains of a pulley system to allow the easy transportation of ash from the fireplaces through to the gardens outside.  The system is quite exensive and in places it blocks the underground passages.  Antique fuse boxes and telephone wiring can also be found here.  And well as ancient copies of the Daily Mail. |
After reports of finding a strange pulley mechanism, and all sort of lost bits-and-pieces, they returned with a camera, and took this series of shots.
