    9:08 more than likely a sewer main cover. those covers are used on roads etc. And at 21:15 is just like the one I entered but has a Circular shaped lid. I will be getting cover keys soon and see what's really in them I'll send pics as well.
    Great video!

    Loving your work Purple. I was born in Wellingborough, first lived in Redwell Estate, then moved to Torrington Road, literally around the corner from your Red Well. THAT was where I played,
    adventured and LOVED to spend my time. Me and my mate David. Thanks for making this and for loving your history :-)

    most entertaining video i seen this week TBH , i find it fascinating ,because as kids we all used to play in these spinney woodland areas and other old sites, not knowing they were landmarks of booming industry covered with tram and rail tracks springs wells dedicated roads to the main stations etc,so as a mature adult its interesting, makes me wanna go back to places i used to play in rushden that used to have brickmaking and gaswork sites etc and have a look around

    amazing, so interesting, i have learned so much. Where the old brick works were at the top of Croyland Road/Northampton Road there is an area easily recognised by the rough grass and it's very wet...?
    Apparently, many years ago the brick kilns flooded and in turn flooded the works where Croyland Road school was to be built..'So they say...I really enjoyed this video and I thank you. nice to see ' the misses '

      The next big Kotch video I'll dedicate to you for your absolutely uplifting words...now do I do a video on furnace lane or do I travel to an old train yard otherside of the county where an old phoenix train rests...the choice is now yours sir

      @@PurpleVision23 love the sir bit... you and your site and presentation fascinate me. I thank you for your kind offer and I'd love to take you up on it.. Furnace Lane would be super. I've been down to the rail lines where there's a little under bridge. before the bridge there used to be a crossing. so as you say ''yeah, lets go for it' thankyou

    I used to go out with a girl in Gleneagles that had a very suspicious drain cover in the garden. Didn't think an awful lot of it at the time other than it was a bit weird but now wondering if it was the long lost well!

    a lot of these wells are actually " cisterns " narrow entrance and a wide bottom like a tank, they are often found at dips between land or a valley to collect rainwater for kilns and factorys etc.

    3:15 if u download google earth pro there is a history timeline of the ariel views, i dont know how far back they go for welly ,but rushden they go as early as 1945, very fascinating to see the old train station tracks and the old factories and gasworks and mining pits etc of the past ( which we used to play on our bikes before it got build over ) edit , i looked ,only goes back as 2004, seems it was always just a sports ground ? can see the old markings of the posts etc on it
