A COMMEMORATIVE plaque has been unveiled at a Clitheroe well that dates back nearly 400 years.

Stock Well, next to Trinity Methodist Church, was first recorded in 1645 and was in use until the 1850s.

The well was sealed in 1880 after two children narrowly escaped drowning it the water.

Clitheroe Civic Society had been working for a while to replace the missing plaque at the well, and have created the new plaque after a grant from Lancashire County Council.
