Town Well, Haslemere

Haslemere Town Well. From medieval times until the late 19th century, this dipping well and Pilewell in Lower Street were the two principal sources of water for the majority of the towns' people. Haslemere's last public water carrier Hannah Oakford, who died in 1898, charged a penny ha'penny per bucket to deliver water to houses in the town. This water is NOT suitable for drinking.
