there is an old covered well at the rear of the pub i believeThe other view which shows the tunnel has yet to show its extent and a coal store is a likely explanation. Another suggestion has been the transport of water from a a well. However this image appears to have been taken from the hole entrance seen above.

This picture reminds of a job that I once had where I had to dig out huge holes in the ground to extract water from...... it was Well boring!

Yes true, the amount of work gone into constructing it is amazing!The Elizabeth Line was due to open in 2018. The new date of 24th May 2022 is going ahead with work still being done on Ilford and Romford stations. There will be not Sunday services generally; the Queens Jubilee might be an exception.
Yet this is quite and achievement with new cathedral like underground stations on the central section.
personally john i think we have been strung along for years not just with the metro but other projects...what a shamblesServices terminating at Bull Street again! Why? I thought that it was cracks in the trams that was the problem this time. Another target missed and they are now "confident" that a fully operational fleet will be ready for the Games in July. I'm afraid, I have totally lost confidence in everything that these so-called "officials" tell us. If the trams are in fact fully operational during the Games, for how long will they be fully operational after that? This is just not acceptable and I get the feeling that we are just being strung along.
