The guy found 3 steps leading down in the basement. The stairs are rounded and made from blue hardstone. And they looked like they are supposed to lead somewhere. He wrote: "I've lived (grew up there) in an old house for 25 years. The house was built in 1851 on top of the location where there used to be a fortified house from the 16th century and a brewery with facilities/stables from the 17th century. In the basement there is a room which contains a staircase leading down for 3 steps which is then blocked by a brick wall. I've been trying to convince my parents to break open the wall but for various reasons this has been left untouched until last weekend when I.. breached the wall."

The family decided to investigate: "My dad having the honours. Chipping away the joints (?) around the bricks"

"The first brick is removed however as we expected there was another layer behind it. the wall is very sturdy." It seems someone went out of his way to hide what's behind.

"2nd layer is removed, we could peek whats behind. Very exhilarating moment."

"Putting my cellphone through and making sure not to drop it to get a better view."

The bricks that fell behind the wall were not falling into water but on firm ground which was already good.

"Bigger hole now, there is a room/corridor to be seen. About 6-7 meters deep."

"Other side at the back of the wall inside the corridor. At the right hand side you can see what is now determined as a coal chute. edit : the blackness on the walls is leftover residue from the coals. You can also see the wall is totally covered where they poured the coals in (on the right side)."

"The only object in the coal chute room. A can. Totally rusted everywhere so nothing to distinguish what it could have been. Cans were trademarked back in 1811. At around 1840-1850 they were commercialized which could mean a worker or someone left the can when they sealed up the wall during the time they built the manor in 1851."

"At the other side of the coal chute there is a larger vaulted room. The room is accessible only through a wide rectangular opening in the wall. The bottom of the opening came up to my hips and i'm 194cm (6'4 in freedom units). Very nice masonry. Vaulted basically everywhere, there is no horizontal floor. This could be a sort of water reserve/water pit from the time of the brewery in the 17th century. You can see tools (?) laying around and a square hole in the middle with water in it. What is the purpose? I don't know."
