Joseph 
Christy
, tinman and brazier (1851), brazier (1855), master tinman and brazier (1871). Of Bridge St (1884) "Former town historian J.L. Glasscock was certainly aware of St Osyth's Well, recording in his notes its position as 10 yards (9mtrs) from the river Stort and 20 yards (18mtrs) south-west of the old Town Mill. To be more exact, he said the well was in Jos Christy's backyard. Joseph Christy was a tinsmith and brazier who opened a whitesmiths shops in 1854 adjoining the old Town Mill, which at time was designated as being in the Causeway. The site of that shop today would be approximately half-way between the Bridge Street entrance to Jackson Square and Devoils Lane. Glasscock also noted that the well was in use up until about 1840, but that Christy filled it in and sealed off the right-of-way that previously led to it. Whether or not water from the well was still believed to be 'good for the eyes' at the time he filled it in is unknown, but there is mention of the water being good for the manufacture of pea soup! A later reference calls it Munday's Well, but this could simply be due to a change of property ownership."
