This report sets out the results of a watching brief carried out by Scarborough Archaeological and Historical Society (SAHS) at a development to form a Creative Industries Centre at Wood End Museum, The Crescent, Scarborough. This is an important site as it shows the fluctuating fortunes of a prestigious 19th century town house during a lifetime of approximately 170 years. It is a vital record of the only existing ice house in Scarborough to be connected to the service cellar of a house.
