Full Description
A late 19th/early 20th century brick-built well and square-section cistern revealed during excavations in 1975. A more modern extensive drainage system had been channelled into the well.
The site is known as 'Highbury Street', although excavations took place in three areas on land between St. Thomas' Street and Highbury Street now occupied by housing centred on Hanover Court. This record relates to post-medieval features from 'Area 1'.
