This episode focuses on the people who lived in the Sand House during the 77 years in which it was occupied. After the 43-year tenure of the Senior family, the house ownership transferred to Doncaster Corporation. From that point on, the head of each family to reside there was a Corporation employee, with the house coming with the job. Meet the Lumbys, the Hagues and, finally, the Briggses.

The 7th episode in our Sand House history season focusses on what is almost certainly the best known feature of the place. Few people who have heard of the Sand House will be unaware of its carvings and sculptures. They decorated both the house and part of the tunnel network. We take the listener on a virtual tour of the carvings, explaining where they each were, who created them, and what we know about the subjects.

Episode 6 takes us on a detailed exploration of the tunnels that ran through the ground next to the quarry in which the Sand House stood. They are, perhaps, the most engaging part of the whole Sand House story. You'll find out about the layout of what were referred to as the Catacombs and the Cloisters, as well as other proven tunnelling. We also explain what we know about other potential tunnels linked to the network. The carvings and sculptures that decorated the Cloisters will be dealt with in the next episode.
