Summary

Public wells in Peebles in the late 19th century.

There were still some public wells in Peebles in David Lawson's youth, including some in the High Street, at the Tontine, at East Gate, and in the market. The one opposite the Co-op is still there [1971], but all the wells are long out of use.
