• It was sunk by members of the pioneering Ward family. • There was community involvement in the restoration of the well. • Good example of a rare structure as many of the other wells in the Mandurah area have been filled in as a result of land development.
Limestone stock well with plaque located on the north eastern corner of Falcon Reserve.
This cylindrical limestone stock well was excavated in 1890 by brothers William and Seymour Ward, whose family lived in the Falcon area and had their home in the Pleasant Grove locality. Around 20 feet deep, it was used for watering stock and the remnants of an old windmill were once located close by. The well was restored by the Falcon Progress Association in 1977 using stone taken from the ruins of Cox Cottage, located opposite the well site. A circular stone wall on a concrete base extending outward from the well wall was also constructed, with a grill covering its top.
