  • Description

    I passed this old well in the woods adjacent to the town's cricket ground. Sadly it looks a bit neglected. The British Listed Buildings website provides the following information: "Natural spring well. Dated 1817 with repairs of 1986. Red sandstone rubble. Set into the side of a high bank. Serpentine wall sloping away at the sides; central recessed bowl and cast-iron pipe, under dated keystone; chamfered coping above. Steps down to soak away beneath well head. An inscribed stone nearby records restoration by the Keep Britain Tidy Group sponsored by MSC, see Cumberland News, 10 October 1986. Water was at one time used to supply hot and cold water baths nearby". I'm in need of some water but I'll give this source a miss!
