The Well replied on: 4/24/2005 8:07:10 PM I've had a look at the area on Old Maps etc and downloaded the enlarged image. The name of the well looks similar to "Asleaw Sick Well". The end three letters of the first word are merged/smudged together and thats the best my old eyes can make of it. Living on Coppice Drive I can remember two streams that joined together in Huftons Coppice. The top stream started at the end of Holmesfield Drive (mid 50s)and ran just inside the edge of the wood.The second stream was at the bottom of Coppice Drive. This appeared at the edge of a small rec (roundabout, bobbies hat and a seesaw) on the left at the bottom of Coppice Drive as you came down. Both streams had about 15 feet of earth above where they first saw daylight. I suppose that when the council estate was built that a lot of landscaping was done so could the stream from Coppice Drive have been from this mystery well ? regards Phil
