WELL HOUSE RESTORATION PROJECT

WELL HOUSE RESTORATION PROJECT

by | May 25, 2020 | announcement

A small group of Volunteers with a keen interest in industrial archaeology have taken on the difficult task of restoring it.
 
By the means of self funding and any kind donations made towards this project they look forward to be able to open up the Well House once it is safely renovated to both exhibit it and to educate and pass on the history of this most important little building.
 
You can check on progress through their Facebook page link below. You’ll find details of how to donate to the project on the FB page also.
