Data from the first OS Maps of the Isle of Man 1867-1870

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.  Click on the photo to access it on Google Maps.
