The Old Well is situated on the junction of Philip Street with High Road Tottenham. It was dug in 1791 and paid for by Thomas Smith, of Bruce Castle who was Lord of the Manor of Tottenham. The tiled roof was added in 1859; it supplied water to the surrounding district but was closed in 1883 when the water became polluted.
