The interior of the shed structure of English Root Cellar, located in Colliers, Newfoundland. Pictured is the hatch door that appears to be incorporated into the floor boards.

The shed is where Richard “Dick” Skanes, his wife Nora, and their niece, Marguerite once lived for several years before moving into a house on the property. Afterwards, the shed was used to store hay.
