More about this scene
Outside the row of terraced cottages at Breachwood Green near Hitchin stands a pristine Ford 100E model. In front of one of these houses stood the community's well. This was cemented over in the 1950s. It was 175 feet deep, and was notorious for breaking its rope and losing the bucket. This had to be fished out using a hooked heavy iron 'strudgel', which was lowered on a strong cable and scraped around the bottom until it caught on the handle of the bucket so that it could be brought to the surface.
