Hussey Well
Hussey Well submitted by Markavenell : The Hussey Well In Pickhurst Lane. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Found just by the roadside of Husseywell crescent is this delightful find of an ancient well. The spring arises in a circular basin set into floor level and enclosed by some ancient stones like a small megalith. It looks an ancient site and surprising to find it surviving in a modern suburban setting.

Its waters were thought medicinal and much renowned. It takes its name frolm a 19th Century Rector and a repairer...but it is much older.
