Vange Well No.5 - Basildon Essex - February 2026.

This was a very difficult flight what with many up/down drafts and numerous trees and branches hanging everywhere. The Domed building of the former mineral well is located close to One Tree Hill Country Park on the outskirts of Martinhole Wood at Langdon Hills. Its structure, resembling that of a Grecian temple, was once out in the open, but is now almost lost from view amongst dense woodland where its condition is deteriorating all the time. It was built to enclose the last of five wells sunk on land to the rear of Hovells Farm on the north-west extremities of the Vange Hall Estate during the early 1920s, as a 'get rich quick scheme' by a London publican, whose surname was ironically Cash. Self styled 'farmer' Edwin Cash - who owned the land - claimed discovery of the water in the early 1900s, and even had a large signboard erected close to the Five Bells public house with directions to the 'magic' well in the 'Vale of Health'. At the time of the discovery he was working in London as the licencee of The Angel public house in Islington. He retired in 1919 to further develop the venture. The building has a concrete floor, brick built outer walls with window openings, two wall separated openings; one having two rounded pillars, and an octagonal brick walled centre section with a red tiled floor. The well is to the centre of the building on a concrete base enclosed with what appears to be a single circular course of bricks. The whole of the exterior walls are rendered as are some areas of the inner structure. There are the remains of some lettering to the upper front that once read: Vange Well No. 5. The bottled contents, marketed by the Vange Water Company Limited and labelled Farmer Cash's Famous Medicinal Vange Water, sold for 2s 3d (12p) (equivalent value in 2017 is £3.27) and was available on site or from all Chemists and Stores of repute. The water was highly sulphated and considered to be of great medicinal value in curing such ailments as rheumatoid complaints, lumbago, stomach troubles and nervous disorders.
