Essex Ghost Hunters proudly present a
paranormal investigation at Whitewebbs Transport Museum in Enfield.
In the Middle Ages the City of London suffered
two major disasters, the Black Death or Plague and the Great Fire of
London. Neither event would have been quite so devastating had an
adequate and accessible supply of water been available.
Around 1600 Edmund Colthurt, a gentleman with
some engineering experience, devised a means of bringing fresh water into North
London from the Chadwell and Amwell Springs, between Ware and Hertford, by
means of a man made channel which followed the 100ft contour into the City.
In 1606 the City of London Corporation
obtained the necessary Acts of Parliament "for bringing a fresh stream of
running water to the northern part of the City".
Altogether some 16 pumping stations were built
during the 19th century by the then New River Water Company and it is thought
that Whitewebbs was one of the last.
Excavation of the well below the Pump Hall at
Whitewebbs began in 1895. The well is 200ft deep and 14ft diameter at the
surface reducing to 11ft at the bottom.
It is believed that the
station fell into disuse soon after the end of the Second World War water.
It is now a wonderful
transport museum.
