Medieval History
A 25-metre well has been found next to a Norwich pub, and city historians believe it could be an important find.
A plumber discovered the well by the outside wall at the Trowel and Hammer in St Stephen?s Road, which has been undergoing a makeover.
The pub has been run by brothers Ilir and Ben Duraj for about six years and is?believed to date back to at least 1700.
Ilir Duraj said: ?The plumber was doing the mains outside and suddenly came rushing in to tell everyone he had found this well. It was quite a surprise. We have measured it as about 25m deep and 2m wide.?
