Nine wells
Nine wells submitted by HOLYWELL : The springhead of nine wells. The name maybe more of a cult significant than actual. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Cambridgeshire

Ancient springs used as the source of water for a growing city. An obelisk is set at the source to commemorate their importance. There only appears to be one main spring and the number may be significant to earlier practises done here by pagan forebearers.
