Ever Flowing Well at Whitby WV

Thank to the kindness of Bob and Ginny Lilly, I was able to see the remains of the the ever flowing well at Whitby WV. Ginny recalled its location which was, I have to say, AMAZING. This well was constantly flowing (hence the name) and stank of sulfur. The smell is gone. Sadly, so is most of the original structure. The well has been described to me as a concreate building with a well inside. Mr. Bennett, the Whitby WV Grade School Principal and eighth grade teacher, enjoyed the well as a landmark to visit with his class.
Below are the remnants of the floor of the well. Note the rectangular shapes of the floor.



Below is the bright orange coloring that was caused by the minerals in the water. The color here was key in finding the well bottom.
