I’ve been to Norwich Castle Museum again and that means I need to correct something…. I mentioned in my post about the well in the castle that it’s now covered and kids (or anyone else for that matter) can’t throw coins down it.
It has transpired that it is still possible to access the well by going to a lower floor, although they don’t seem to encourage anyone to throw things in it, but I think that’s more than understandable. There are though some coins at the bottom, but I decided not to try and take a zoomed in photo of them for fear of dropping my phone. It’s a long way down there and I’m neither sure that my phone would survive the fall, nor that the museum staff would give its retrieval the same priority as I would.
The stonework in the well and there’s an automatic winch thing now, something the medieval workers would have likely quite enjoyed rather than doing all that winding by hand.
