Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Lee Common Jubilee Well, Bucks Situated in Oxford Street, Lee Common, HP16 9JT, this well was dug to improve the public water supply in Lee Common. It was started in 1896 and finished in 1897, the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. The well, hand dug using candles for illumination and a pair of the local blacksmith's bellows for forced ventilation, is 365 feet deep and 4 feet 6 inches in diameter. The cables, when removed, stretched from the well to the telephone box on your left at the end of the allotments. There were two counter acting buckets, each 4 feet 6 inches high and containing 25 gallons of water; they were raised by means of the handle on the left.
The well was closed in the early 1950's due to rising pollution levels and was made a Grade II listed building in 1986. It is owned and maintained by The Lee Parish Council, most recently in September, 2008. |
