Should have taken a close up of the plaque.
However, research has produced some information ...

This is a wishing well that was built in 1957 and presented to the people of Douglas by the Rotary Club, to be used as a means of raising funds for local charities & worthy causes. For the first few years it was in use it raised between £175 and £150 each year, which for the late 1950s was a not inconsiderable amount.

Currently used as a small flower bed - there's a fountain at the other end of the sunken gardens that acts as a wishing well.
