Enville rock house

Norfolkbloke · Oct 30, 2010

Another explore from a Norfolkbloke in the Midlands!!

I know nothing of the history of this little cave dwelling cept to assume it's some kind of gamekeepers shelter who once worked on the Enville estate, there are some more extensive type dwellings to be found at Kinver edge just a couple of miles to the west. Just three rooms carved into a rocky cliff face with a simple brick fireplace and a few broken floor tiles are all that remains but an interesting little explore none the less!!

The pics...

Love that fireplace in the rock house. They look larger than some near me.

There used to be loads of rock houses on Rock Hill in Mansfield, they're still there, but sadly have had big metal covers over the windows and doors. You used to be able to look in through the windows when I was little, and they'd set it all out as it would have been when lived in. The idiots who used to break in and steal things put paid to that, now its all covered up.

Will have to get pics of how they look nowadays.

Cheers,

Sal

That's a beauty, NB. There are...or used to be...quite a few rock houses on and around Kinver Edge (used to explore them when young). Nice to see the fireplace still in situ in the Enville one.
