On the second weekend of the Heritage Open Day 2022 festival, volunteers took visitors down to see the Spring Rock Well which would have served the 4 cottages that make up the museum.
The Well was unearthed after the extensive renovations of the end cottage, the former “chip shop” and the last cottage to be acquired by the Museum. A shaft dropped down from the doorway to the cellar beneath, about ten metres, many hundreds of people must have stood over the shaft whilst queuing for their fish and chips!
It was hoped to cover the shaft with a transparent, heavy-duty cover, with lighting at intervals, to enable viewing. This was not viable, however, and the door and window were transposed in the interests of health and safety.
The exact age of the Well is unknown, it can be said with some certainty it is at least one hundred years old, very probably even much older than that. It may even pre-date the cottages, existing in another form, the cottages are called Spring Rock!
