For much of the 19th century Ice was imported by sailing vessel from Norway. Carlo Gatti was a major player in the trade.
One of Gatti's ice warehouses now houses the London Canal Museum, where ice was stored and distributed to customers by horse-drawn cart.
Brian's talk traces Gatti's life from modest beginnings in Switzerland, via Paris restaurants, to running highly successful restaurant, theatre, and ice businesses in London.
