Old things are interesting. That's a fact, especially in photography. And, even though 1992 isn't that long ago, there's something quite fascinating about this old marker slowly eroding in the corner of Southampton common. It marks the capping of an attempted well, which eventually reached some colossal depth (which I can't remember) over the course of about 80 years, without ever finding the water they were looking for. And after all that effort, the well was capped over and sits forgotten under a lot of long grass and a very heavy slab of rock.
