An unusual one at Goldhanger, Essex, which reportedly still works. Photo supplied by Borin Van Loon - thanks, Borin. It carries an inscribed plaque: | |
| "THIS WELL
IS 70 FEET DEEP WITH A FURTHER 100 FEET OF ARTESIAN BORE MAKING 170 FEET IN ALL THE WELL WAS DUG DURING THE HOT SUMMER OF 1921" |
||
| On a separate plaque, it reads: | ||
| To Commemorate
the Queen's Diamond Jubilee the Pump and Well were
restored to
working condition by Goldhanger Parish Council Funded by The Village with support from Essex Environment Trust Maldon District Council and Essex Heritage Trust Opened by Cllr.Robert J.S.Long Chairman of the Maldon District Council 2nd May 2012 |
||
| It turns out that the working barrel is located about 10m down the well. There's a dual spout arrangement, one at low level for buckets and the other at high level probably for water carts. Apparently, to the right of the pump, there's a "local curiousity known as The Pug Stone, a semi-circular piece of granite said to be part of a grinding stone from a pug mill". [Pug Mill: a machine for mixing and working clay and other materials into pug. Pug: loam or clay mixed and worked into a soft, plastic condition without air pockets for making bricks or pottery.] | ||
