Discovery of an 18th century ice-well in London

Archaeologists from Museum of London Archaeology (MoLA) recently uncovered a huge ice-well in central London, near Regent's Park. It was built in the 1780's by Samuel Dash. In 2015, the ice-well had already been partially uncovered, thanks to a "Historic Environment Assessment" commissioned by MoLA in order to assess the potential for significant archaeological remains on the site, where a residential project was planned.
