Grandad Finds 17ft Medieval Well In His Living Room

ID: 3443155

A grandad has spent the last decade digging out a 17ft deep medieval well in his living room after noticing a slight dip in the floor when redecorating.

Colin Steer, from Plymouth, discovered the well after he noticed a dip in the floor while redecorating his living room ten years ago and has since spent the last decade digging out the 17ft well.

The 70-year-old believes that the well could date back to medieval times after discovering an old sword while digging out the well and plans of the site suggests that the well could date back to the 1500s.

Colin said: "I found what seemed to be a leather casing of a sword when I was about 5ft into the dig which leads me to believe that the well could be medieval.

I could tell, this well brought the child out of him!

[lexvonghoul]

Very cool. I kinda want to help him dig it. I’m intrigued myself!

[chikku]

He was like
Let's get to the bottom to the problem

Seems like it may be for a castle, 2 ft thick walls, you wouldn't put that much into a well for a little house. If they explore the surrounding area, they may find walls.

He needs to get someone who was one of those radar things so he can kinda figure out what all’s down there and stuff.

Just found a 64ft well in our garden. Super excited and trying to figure out how best to treat it. Would be a great focal point

[BEASLEYBOYS]

The whole time I was imagining him falling in

[dollybabiesreborns]

I wonder if he uses magnet fishing mechanism

[matthewsmiley]

At least he’s got unlimited water now!! No need to pay the city for water anymore 😂😂

I wish I could find a 7ft hole in my living room.

I am fascinated with wells I have a 23 ft cistern. I plan to put a Plexiglas top to it and put a light down in it.

It’s all fun and games until a girl in a white dress starts climbing out your tv

okay but the old man just chilling on the ledge and even stepping in the outter circle ? He has no fear of falling in ? That decent is going to be painful ..

Here pal there is not a woman on this planet that would grasp the magnitude of what you have there, takes a man cave to a whole new level, fkn impressive.

Might want to keep the phone number of a buddhist monk on hand in case any creepy Japanese ghosts turn up.

Prett cool I hope he finishes his project. Also just one thing, cut those nails down man.

The Gshock watch grandad wears tells a story. Ex-military man?

[exbunkbedanimations]

Least he has somewhere to store the bodies now.

"Find the well! It's... the passage to HELL!"

Did he ever think there might be spirits in there? His house now may be haunted from opening it.
