How odd. I grew up in Crosland Moor and know that hillside very well, and have walked up and down there hundreds of times, played on there as a kid, yet I never knew there was a well, Holy or otherwise. I can't even recall, or place, those steps. I do remember a stone trough near bottom of Deep Lane, which was just an old horse trough as far as I remember. I had no idea the area was once a wood, or that it was called "Holy Well Woods". That is a first on me. I have never come across any reference to the well in any books or articles on local history.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
