I believe that the ice was cut in winter and stored in underground ice houses. Certainly the british aristocracy did this. In America this was commercialised, and the ice was delivered to ordinary homes that had ice boxes, which is what they still call refrigerators. My grandmother had a box outside of her kitchen which had a metal gauze door in it. Somehow through evaporation/ condensation it kept her dairy products and other food colder than the ambient temperature, it really worked. I believe that a woman has patented a similar device for sale in third world countries for people with no electricity.
