On the OS Explorer series (Scale 1:25,000) of Ordnance Survey maps, a well is denoted as a small unfilled blue circle with a blue capital "W" next to it. Springs are denoted by the same circle however the letters "Spr" are used in place of "W".
The smaller scale maps (i.e. showing a larger area) such as the OS Landranger series (Scale 1:50,000) do not appear detailed enough to display wells (and they do not appear in the Key).

FC relates to 'Forestry Commission' therefore a green shape with the letters 'FC' on an ordnance survey map means 'Forest or woodland'.
Green is typically used to represent forests on an OS (Ordnance Survey) map. It helps observers easily identify wooded areas as they navigate through the map.
