‘Subterranean Passage, Dropping Well, Drinking Fountain.’ Pulham is known to have constructed the lining for a tunnel, but there is now no sign of the Dropping Well or Drinking Fountain. He is also thought to have worked on many other features – including the Riding House and subterranean ballroom – but the work is restricted to the private areas of the Welbeck estate, so access can only be by special arrangement.
