We lived on the moors in the borders of England and Scotland.

An antique dealer will give you quite a lot of money for that. I wouldn\u2019t move it or touch it until I talk to antique dealers.<br \/>\nWhat an amazing find. I wonder why the former owners covered that up.<br \/>\nNice I would start tearing down other walls maybe find something else!<br \/>\nIt was probably too heavy to get it out of the cellar so they left it.<br \/>\nWooooow lucky you I would be over the moon and use it with pride \u2026 I remember staying with my nan at weekends she had one and remember her having an iron on there to do her ironing \u2026 and doing toast on the fire it was lovely\u2026 lucky you \u2764\ufe0f<br \/>\nWhat a treasure<br \/>\nSo the original kitchen may have been in the cellar or it was the kitchen for the servants. Love it<br \/>\nI\u2019d leave it right there. Dust it off. Then design around it. It would be the focal point of your room.<br \/>\nNO!!!is it full size or a child\u2019s size? Whatever! What a FIND!<br \/>\nIt appears like they intentionally closed up the fireplace with stove and kettles intact for a future find like this. As a builder\/contractor we almost always leave little mementoes or time capsules in the wall or closed off portions of the build. We often include owners information and pictures as well as our information. Coins from the year we did the project. Even bran new tape measures or hammers. Sometimes I\u2019ve included brief essays on current events or political thoughts. It\u2019s fun.<br \/>\nImagine putting a wall up with the kettles still on the stove!<br \/>\nIt looks child Size. That\u2019s truly amazing!<br \/>\nDo you think this was original kitchen?<br \/>\nWow! They left the tea pots in there!!<br \/>\nI used to black lead one of these for my gran, when I was a child. Of black lead can still be bought ot will come up like new.<br \/>\nThat old black grate is in great condition. So what are you going to do with it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>A questioner said: We pulled down a false wall in the cellar of our 1857 house and found this!
