Alderley Edge, Holy Well 1896
Photo ref:

More about this scene
The Holy Well is probably the oldest known well on the Edge. It may have been created in 1740, when two overhanging stones fell down the hill, making the houses in the Hough shake, and, according to legend, squashing an old woman and her cow. The well had the reputation of curing barrenness in women, and offerings of bent pins were sometimes left there.
