Model of an ice delivery cart that delivered ice around London from our building. The model was made in approximately the 1890s.

Our collection includes artifacts and archives relating to the canals of London and the ice trade. Note that we do not hold canal company records here, or records of any individuals' careers.

If you are looking for archive images, we have an archive image Picture Shop where you will find a selection of images from our collection.
