Description
The Sand House A Victorian Marvel Revisited by Richard Bell and Peter Tuffrey is a fascinating exploration of a unique and intriguing piece of South Yorkshire's history. In the mid-19th century, a remarkable sandstone house was built in Doncaster using an innovative technique that involved excavating the ground to create a 40-metre-long residence with all the modern amenities of its time. The story behind this extraordinary creation is one of business interests and ambitious vision. This book brings to life the history of the Sand House, from its modest beginnings as a two-up-two-down dwelling to its transformation into a ten-roomed mansion with extensive tunnels and carvings. Although the house itself no longer exists, its remarkable story lives on through the pages of this book.
