Chamber 18 - Winter Nelis (also known as Pakham Winternelis) was located opposite Chamber 17 - Winter Cole, beside the doors that lead to Chamber 28 - Garden, along the walkway for Chamber 27 - Golden Delicious, and down the ramp from Chamber 21 - Pippin. According to the original map for the Packing House this was erroneously named as "Pakham Winternelis", the signs present in the chambers for some time showed it as "Winter Nelis".
Originally when the Packing House first opened it was an enclosed chamber, with the only way out through the café or back into Chamber 19.
Then in 2002 this space was expanded into what had been a storage area (as is marked on the original 1993 map of the Packing House). This storage space was halved, expanding Chamber 18's space and creating office space for the new café that was also being expanded at that time.
A ramp was also created into Chamber 21 - Pippin.
From when the Packing House opened to the early 2000s, Syber Antiques held this space, selling a combination of furniture and china antiques.
In August 2006 Deco Heaven joined the Packing House, becoming one of the largest dealers dedicated to Art Deco in all shapes and forms. Stocking furniture, silver plate, cocktail paraphernalia, clocks, jewellery, writing and desk accessories, glass and ceramics, radios and telephones of the Deco period, kitchen and dining items and many other miscellaneous products, and an extensive range of bakelite.

More information
This chamber had an internal phone mounted on the wall between this chamber and Chamber 19 - Packham, and facing Chamber 17 - Winter Cole which could be used to contact the Front Counter.
This chamber had one of three ramps that allowed access to Chamber 27 - Golden Delicious (the café), the others were located in Chamber 13 - William and Chamber 25 - Emporer.
From 2015 this chamber also opened into the garden in the middle, prior to that there was a bay window overlooking the garden in the middle space.
This chamber, the neighbouring Chamber 17 - Winter Cole and the nearby Chamber 13 - William and Chamber 12 - Snow are some of the few chambers with a full false ceiling. During the initial renovation of the Packing House the ceiling was deemed to be in too bad a condition to repair it, or have it on display, thus a false ceiling was hung.
