Location
edit
St. Winifred's Well is located on Eustace Street, 60 m (66 yd) to the south of the River Liffey, outside the Norseman pub.[2]
History
editSt Winifred’s Well was built c. 1680-1720 when Eustace Street was laid out.[3] Its name, referring to the Welsh Saint Winifred, is probably explained by the presence of Welsh and English merchants in the area.[4][5]
Archeologists believe the water was taken using a hand pump, due to the absence of rope marks on the stonework. The well was rediscovered in the early 1990s.[5][6]
