Your thoughts on well-covers

[Bouledogue]

I watched an interesting video last week on Neil Paskin's YouTube channel (Pask Makes) where he used traditional rivetting on a new gate build.

Thank you, @Endeleus . I shall watch that.

I think, take the brickwork down, then cover with with a lattice of thin sticks, and cover them with some dead leaves.

House in the village has got a well in the middle of their kitchen floor. Its about 35 metres down to the water, and its covered with a very thick glass plate. Its quite unnerving to walk across

There's a pub (possibly was) in Redditch with an undershot water wheel in the bar with a 15foot glass floor over the race, surprising how many blokes would walk round it.

My Aunts well had a shed type pent roof over it with two doors for access

There is a pub & restaurant, Egypt Mill in Nailsworth, Glos that has 2 waterwheels in the bar. When they ran them, the rumble from the old gears & shafting could be felt throughout the building. I’m not sure if they still run them, as last I heard, they couldn’t find anyone able to repair them.
