Well, well, well?

There's been a fair few "sink holes" in recent weeks, including the Ohio one very recently; but is it just my eyes that's seeing bricks built in a circle, that suggest this one.........

I suspect Anglo-American POWs. They tunnelled everywhere.

Can't be that, there was a bed covering it, not a stove.

I think I see brick lining - looks like an old well that was under the building, and the covering fell in....

No stove!! I like that!!

Sure is fake looking. If it's real, as Al said, the bricks prove it's no sinkhole. Don't build your house over an old mineshaft or well.

Yeah gotta be a well.

Yep, well.  I read something recently about a guy finding a well under his living room floor in London - turned about to be a several hundred year old well.

I used to live just outside a village called Lasswade near Edinburgh, Scotland. They were renovating a local bar to build a restaurant area & found a well that was also a few 100 years old. They had the water tested & last I heard it was going to be bottled & sold from the bar.
There's a small castle where I live now that has a well under the cafe floor, I don't know why they don't do the same.
