caption_attribution_description: English: The Tanzie Well next to the footbridge over the River Irvine, Irvine, North Ayrshire, Scotland. Also called St Anne's or the Washing House Well.
context_page_description: The Tanzie Well, also known as Saint Anne's Well, the Washing House Well or the Spoot is located beside the River Irvine in the Golf-fields or Golffields at the end of the footbridge across the River Irvine in Irvine, North Ayrshire, Scotland. It has been suggested that 'Tanzie' may be a corruption of St Inan's Well. The old Irvine Pouther House of 1801 is located nearby.
context_section_description: This well is noted on the 1856 OS map as accessed by a path that divides from the lane leading to the washing house shortly after entering the Golf Field. No indication is given, but the water supplying the well and washing house may have the same source, however as the well was still in use the waste water from the washing house would have a different outflow so as not to pollute the well water.
  In 1895 the well is still marked, however no path leads to it and the path that did now only runs to the wash house. In 1908 the well is still present and marked as such, but without any paths leading to it, however by 1938 the well is not marked and only the outflow culvert to the river is indicated.
