| The Wishing Well | The Wishing Well | Mr William Short | On Sheet | A small pure spring issueing from the | ||
| or Pin Well | Mr Geo. Henderson | 19.12 | rocks a little S.E. Of the Kettles. It is | |||
| Mr Robert Brown | visited by Wooler people in Summer, and | |||||
| the custom is to bend a common pin | ||||||
| head & point together and drop it into | ||||||
| the well, at the same time wishing, good | ||||||
| or evil, for friends or enemies. The above | ||||||
| custom would seem to indicate that this | ||||||
| well was formerly a haunt of the fairies, | ||||||
| but is now only a vague tradition. | ||||||
| There is (said to be) a fairy ring inside | ||||||
| the "The Kettles" Camp, marked by a difference | ||||||
| in the colour of the grass, but I think it is | ||||||
| only a fancy, at least I could not find it. | ||||||
