I thought this interesting, more pictures inside link.
"These stunning pictures show the inside of a 'time capsule' Victorian pharmacy that was uncovered in Somerset - after being boarded up more than 100 years ago. William White’s Chemist Shop operated from 1880 until his death in 1909 but lay untouched and unknown about for decades.
His son Charles was unqualified to dispense drugs so boarded up the store when his father died. The presence of the sealed room was only revealed after the death of the last of William’s granddaughters Margaret White and the sale of the property in South Petherton, Somerset, in 1987."
