Shoregate Ice House was built in the late seventeenth century. Where possible, the ice for the ice houses was collected from local ponds but if there was a mild winter, it would be shipped in from Norway. The blocks of ice were carefully stored in layers with sawdust laid between the blocks to prevent them from freezing into a solid mass.

A spectacular recreation of Disney’s ‘magic forest’, stripped of its harmonious inhabitants, the animals. What remains is another reality, a constructed and living wilderness where nature becomes a mirror for reflecting upon ourselves.
