00:00So a metre and a half away from our water tank is our well. This is a very
00:09scary place. It is so, so deep. We've never measured so we're going to do it today.
00:16So I'm even too scared to lean over this and look down there because it's so deep.
00:24Can you see the different textures in the wall? Red brick and then stone and
00:31then a bit further down is more red brick-y look. So this is my
00:37husband. We put a weight on the string. Look, it just keeps going and going and
00:44going and going. We are shocked at how this keeps going down and down and
00:52down and down. So I think he's at the bottom there. The well is 20 metres down.
01:03Can you believe that? At the back of our house there is a red brick chamber.
01:11It's huge. It's like 8 foot by 3-4 foot. It's about 8-10 foot deep. I will put up
01:21another video of inside. The back of our house, you can see, I'll show you now,
01:26that it was away from the house. It actually goes under our sunroom now. This
01:32sunroom was put in in the 70s. We've just had a new roof put on it and new doors.
01:39Morning. So we bought a magnet. So we're gonna go fishing.
01:56This is just so we can hang the magnet near the middle.
02:09So we're gonna go fishing.
02:11There is nothing down in the well. So we had a metal, there was a metal lid when we bought the
02:40house and it had rotted. And this is from the lid that's gone down into the
02:47well. There's nothing down the well. We've done it loads now. Sadly there's nothing here.
02:54Okay, here we are. You've got a brick arched roof.
03:11Quite a big space. An old pipe that was once a well.
03:17There's newts and things, bizarrely, living in here. Stuff on the bottom. There's a newt.
03:32That pipe there, we understand where that is the rainwater pipe. This one here
03:39looks long dry. Seems to go right under the house. Possibly, therefore sewage. Maybe this was an old
03:49septic tank. It's tanked at the sides with cement. Lovely brickwork. Very well made.
03:59No signs of deterioration. That looks like some sort of previous place where somebody came into it.
