Hauntings

The former owner of the Old Fire Engine House, Ely

Old Fire Engine House, 25 St Mary's Street, Ely

Undated; building 17th century

The Old Fire Engine House sits on St Mary's Street, a few doors from Oliver Cromwell's house, and is described by Spooky Isles as a seventeenth century building that now serves as a restaurant and art gallery.

According to that roundup, staff and diners alike have seen a man quietly watching proceedings in the building, and he is believed to be a former owner. Plates rattle without explanation, muffled voices come from rooms with nobody in them, and a faint chill is sometimes felt in the dining area as if someone invisible had pulled up a chair.

No dates, names or specific incidents are given, so this is a single directory report. The pin is placed from the street address and is approximate.

Open as a restaurant and gallery.
