Early Photos

The original structure

​
Waugh's Well on 21 July 2007 after restoration funded by United Utilities.

​The photograph was taken immediately after the annual reading of Waugh's poems at the well, hence the spray of roses on the well.

Probably the opening ceremony after it was completed in 1866
