Succession House
in Fruit & veg
Hi,
Can anybody tell me what a succession house is please? I know it was used to grow fruit in 19th century gardens- is different from a hot house? Was it part brick (using the walls of the walled garden) and part glass? Or all glass? How was it heated?
I've seen a small old greenhouse with a levered system that opened all the windows at once as they were connected by a rod. Would there be something similar in a succession house? Sorry for all the questions at once! Any pointers would be very gratefully received. Thank you
