Uncovering The Past At Youngsbury House

March 16, 2021

Works are picking up pace at our Youngsbury House project, with lots of exciting things taking place over the next few months. This week our contractor managed to find 3 old cigarette packets and a newspaper within the floor structure of the house. The cigarettes are believed to be from the 1930’s to 1950’s and the newspaper is a copy of the Daily Express dated 23rd June 1959, these dates broadly align with the last known major works at the house. Other finds include footprints in historic lime puggin, historic fireplace openings & historic structural repairs.
