Plaque on Jeaffreson's Well

At the junction of The B1120 Badingham Road and the B1119 Saxmundham Road & Castle Street. Jeaffreson's Well was sunk in 1896 in memory of town doctor William Jeaffreson FRCS and his wife Caroline. It was covered with a conical roofed, open-sided structure. Isaac Larter was the first man to make use of this supply communally when he put a tank in the roof to supply the bungalows he had built in Saxmundham Road in the 1930s.
