Colin Steer from Plymouth, Devon, England discovered the 500-year-old well ten years ago after noticing a dip in the floor while redecorating – and he has spent the last decade digging it out. Steer found the well while redecorating the living room of his home. He noticed a dip in the floor while carrying out DIY, which led him to uncover the well. While digging it out, Steer found what he thinks is the leather casing of a sword, which he believes could date the structure to the 1500s.
