Overview
- Grounds staff uncovered an arched brick chamber containing dozens of misshapen, likely hand‑blown bottles, all empty and without labels.
- The site remains cordoned off as structural engineers and local council historians assess safety and heritage considerations.
- The club has removed the bottles for safekeeping and intends to display them in the clubhouse despite outside offers to purchase them.
- The cellar is thought to be part of the former Davyhulme Hall estate, demolished in 1888, consistent with the hole’s local name, “the Cellars.”
- Staff note a prior sinkhole revealed a 30ft well on the course, suggesting additional subsurface features may exist.
