A medieval well that was once believed to heal eye diseases and wash away sins has been uncovered in Rainhill .

After a series of excavation works by Historic England, St Anne's Well was uncovered at a private farm in the area.

The historic well was located by looking at a photograph from 1983 which showed it was still visible and by using a description on the National Heritage List which said the well was large, made of sandstone and with steps to the water.
