Woodingdean Water Well
Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom
The Woodingdean Water Well is the deepest hand-dug well in the world, at 390 metres (1,280 ft) deep, lined with some 278,000 bricks. It was dug to provide water for a workhouse. Work on the well started in 1858, and was finished four years later, on 16 March 1862. It is located just outside the Nuffield Hospital in Woodingdean, in Brighton and Hove, England, United Kingdom. Despite taking four years to construct, the well was only in use for a further four years until the workhouse was connected to the mains supply.
