Reopening an Ancient Well
Reopening an ancient well for the community.
Reopening an ancient well for the community.
The opening of Windy Cross Well is a community led project with two objectives. These are...
First is to get the ancient well under the floor of the pump-house to be functioning and producing drinking water by means of a hand pump.
Second is to have something beautiful to look at instead of a closed, forgotten and sorry looking pump-house.
If we can achieve both or just the second objective then we will have been successful.
