Statement of Interest

Unusual survival of a once common-place communal utility, here effectively clustered and displaying notable variety. The Kennedy wells were a form of permanent standpipe made by Glenfield and

Kennedy; the ribbed knob operated an internal valve controlling the flow of water from an undergound pipe.
