Steve you dug a hole and lined it with bricks as opposed to 'sinking a well'
whereby you put a ring of bricks on the ground and out all of the earth from
under them and putting more rounds of bricks on the original thus you lay
those which will be at the bottom of the well, when you have dug it all out,
thus sinking the well.

I think I have that right, perhaps someone can confirm that I have the right
method.

Would love to do one ;-)

In the 1970s before Singapore was totally modernised. I ate in an open

replaced by yet
another hotel.

When I were a lad, the sole illumination at night was either hurricane
or Tilley lamps - both using paraffin, of course.

When I was a lad too, and water had to be hand pumped from a well.

When I was a lad I helped to dig the well!

LOL

It's true. My uncle had a farm with a stream running below ground. My
brother and I helped to dig an hole to the stream. The hole was
eventually lined with bricks to make a well. It was bit of a novelty
really.
