If you walk towards Blackpool along the Watercourse Road you will see a sign to the well that used to take you up a flight of steps with the stations of the cross, they are now blocked off so you have to go to the next flight of steps and turn right at the first opening behind the brewery.

Pumping water up to the City's reservoirs requires almost €1m of electricity each year, so conserving water can also help reduce energy use.	Shanakiel
