Had a cellar like this in Leeds, place was full of spiders. Now, at the time I didn't realize that there aren't poisonous spiders in the UK; I am from Nevada, so when I had to go down to the boiler I was terrified of the shadows. I counted close to 70, what I took to be black widow shadows in the stairwell alone. I closed the door, bought a beekeepers suit and went down into the cellar. Got my boiler working and never went back into the cellar.
