The customer wanted an old bath removed and a new walk-in shower installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything was going to plan until we took the bath panel off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind it was a small access hatch that the homeowner had never noticed before. Curiosity got the better of us, so we opened it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo our surprise, it led to a hidden void underneath part of the house. It wasn't a secret room as such, but it was large enough to crawl into and looked like it hadn't been accessed for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside were old newspapers dating back to the 1960s, a rusty toolbox, several glass bottles and what looked like original plans for an extension that had been built years earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe homeowner was fascinated and spent most of the afternoon looking through everything we'd found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat started as a straightforward bathroom replacement ended up becoming a small piece of the property's history being rediscovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's still one of those jobs that gets brought up whenever we're talking about unusual finds on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubmitted Anonymously by a Local Tradesperson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rossendale Trades Hub Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54136738120021,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/rossendaletradeshub.com\/products\/the-bathroom-that-wasnt-what-it-seemed","provider":"Rossendale Trades Hub Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
