how did they dig those wells that deep anyway?


A circular wooden former is made, 4ft diameter. This allows a man to dig
inside.
The brick layer puts his bricks around the top of the former. The 'digger'
undercuts the former. The former with bricks sinks, more bricks are added,
more undercutting and so on.

So no excuse now not to have your own water supply.
