Stapenhill... well?


Is it a cave? a blocked-up old well?  I wish I knew.  This structure on the Stapenhill side of the river in Burton has no marks or plaques to help one identify what it might be.

Burton does have a lot of wells, though.  The natural water of Burton is one reason that the beer made here tastes so good...

  1. Called the Well on Stapenhill Hollows, this is a Victorian folly constructed with stone saved from the medieval Great bridge, which was replaced by the present Trent (Burton) bridge in the Victorian era.
