Blow Wells in Tetney
is a deep circular pit
the water of which
rises to the level
of the surface
but never overflows.
It is considered bottomless
by the superstitious.
Another well was once in Jackson's Green,
now the Holywell cemetery.
It was said to possess
great curative powers.
This well was destroyed along with Holywell
when drainage operations were
carried out converting
Jackson's Green in to a cemetery.
