Lost Holy Well in Greater London. The well is shown on the OS map of 1876 just south east of Tottenham Wood, which was itself north west of Alexandra Palace.

A cartographer friend of mine has superimposed the 1876 map on a current one and this reveals that the well site is now covered by Alexandra Park Road, just before the junction with Talbot Road. The area now seems covered with housing.
