When I was just a little gaffer I remember that there was a bronze plaque with the inscription.."Father Duffy's well", or to that effect. When the road was upgraded in recent years, the 'well' was obliterated. I remember it from when we used to visit my grandfather's sister (May Ryan) in St. Joseph's in the 1950's. Perhaps someone can fill in more history on this..... Aiden L.
