Wells & Springs
This map details the many Wells and Springs that were here in the late 1860s. The entries were taken from the first OS maps. A proportion of the wells are now gone due to development, the introduction of mains water and neglect, but some do survive and are waiting to be visited and perhaps even rediscovered.
