Leftwich ice house found under London Street

 

 

 

 

Edward Leftwich recently commented on our Facebook page, “The William Leftwich who initiated the ice business was the great grandfather of my grandfather, Charles Leftwich CBE, who was born in London, as was my father, who was born at Clarence Gate, very close to where the ice house was near Regents Canal.”
