Three Mill Green Monument 1

This monument commemorates four men who died in a distillery well here. One was overcome with fumes while working, the other died in a rescue attempt.

 

An inscription here says:-

'Of your charity pray for the souls of Thomas Pickett, Godfrey Maule Nicholson, Frederick Eliott and Robert Underhill, who lost their lives in a well beneath this spot on 12 July 1901. The first named while in the execution of his duty was overcome by foul air. The three latter successively descending in heroic efforts to save their comrades shared the same death.'
