Hi there, I have the following hole in the ground at the front of our house and I just wondered whether anyone might throw any light on what it could have been used for.
Obviously I'm thinking it was either a well or some sort of sesspit. Are there any features which might identify which it is? I'm currently ploughing through the deeds to see if I can see mention of it anywhere, so far with no success.
I'm thinking it's more likely to have been a well as there's no lining which I would have imagined a sesspit to have had? You can see a broken black PVC pipe coming in from the left and there's a metal pipe coming up on the right which disappears into the concrete and heads towards the house but I can't see that it goes anywhere. Someone's obviously thrown some rubble down it.
Many thanks.
