Carters Well was once the main source of fresh water for Low Fell, Gateshead
Carters Well was once the main source of fresh water for Low Fell, Gateshead. The spring originally rose out of the workings on an old coal pit and the supply of water was quite sparse. However, when Sheriff Hill Colliery was opened a drift was made into the workings to get water for the use of the colliery engine and the water supply was rapidly enhanced. Although there were other wells, Carter Well was regarded as providing the freshest water.
Local poet and educationalist Thomas Wilson wrote a poem about the well: No other spring wiv it can vie; It is a tap that ne er runs dry Two young girls try the water supply for their younger sister although she does not seem impressed with their efforts! 7th March 1931
