Some of my favorite runs with the Winchester Highlanders were through the spacious and gorgeous Middlesex Fell Reservation - directly adjacent to Winchester, MA, USA. One sunny and cool Saturday, we took a slightly different route and came across the mysterious structure below (map). Looks like an old pump house. Or … is that just a cover?
Pump House or Home of the Web?
Check out the inscription (photo below) above the massive doors: “WWW 1890″. Could it be that this is where the World Wide Web was invented? And could the Web have been invented nearly 100 years before history records that Sir Tim Berners-Lee is believed to have conceived of the world’s most important communications medium?
Inscription reads, “WWW 1890″ .. and also “Big Russ”
