Description
The Broadwell is a rectangular pond enclosure located on the west side of White Street in Market Lavington. It dates from the 17th to 18th century, with alterations made in 1892. The enclosure features a stone surround and a sluice at the lower end, which leads to a lower pond. It was originally designed as two dipping wells with pumps. The Broadwell was used for bonding metal tyres by a blacksmith in the adjacent workshop, which has since been replaced.
