It looks like a cistern. I have no idea of the location.
ReplyDeleteAs a child, my bff and I would entertain ourselves with a hand clap / slap routine and sing a little ditty along with it to keep time. Perhaps your readers remember the song but the words are as follows:
ReplyDeletePlaymate
Come out and play with me
and bring your dollies three
climb up my apple tree
look down my Rain barrel
Slide down my cellar door
and we'll be Jolly friends
For ever more.
Now as a child I did not have a cellar or a rain barrel but those words certainly roll off one's tongue and are certain to pique a child curiosity.
Dear me, You Tube has several versions of this engaging entertaining activity. For a walk down memory lane and a few corrected and additional lyrics search " Say say oh Playmate come out and play with me" LOL you know it seemed like just yesterday...but it wern't

ReplyDeleteYes, this is a photo of an old island water cistern. The cistern is located next to Corky's Store.
