The Pineapple House Wall

The Pineapple House Wall

During the 19th Century a hothouse was constructed against the wall to cultivate exotic fruits, including pineapples, which were considered a symbol of wealth and hospitality.

The hothouse was demolished in the 1920s, as it became too expensive to heat.
