Golf club sinkhole reveals century-old wine cellar
A sinkhole at Davyhulme Park Golf Club in Manchester has revealed a remarkable hidden cellar dating back over 100 years, complete with dozens of historic wine and Port bottles still sitting on the floor. The groundskeepers discovered the brick tunnel beneath the 13th hole filled with earth-encrusted bottles, though most lack labels that would identify the specific wines or producers. The cellar appears to be remnants of the original manor house that once stood on the site, offering a fascinating glimpse into English wine-drinking traditions from the early 20th century.
