Digbeth Mineral Water Works and Well

The well is covered back over, it wont be seen again until the large underground tank (next to it) is uncovered and removed, the well and corner of the tank would be inbetween the number 650 on this map the job wragg factory, the tank seems to go under the old job wragg buildings but i have only uncovered a corner of it so far
 
I have seen info somewhere before on the possible old water tank we have roughly under the old job wragg site, im sure i have seen about an older mill on the site also ???, lots more to dig up yet
 
What a great thread,really enjoying it.Great contributions from everyone.Big thank you and hats off to Seanyb for his valiant efforts and enthusiasm.I wish there had been others like him in the 1960’s when so much must have been lost without trace.Anyway,Happy Christmas to everyone.
