Description

A brick lined well with stone blocks at the top was found inside 237 Westgate Road at the rear of the building during construction works. It is not shown on historic maps, and from Oliver's map of 1838 may have been located originally in the rear garden of a house on Greenfield Place, before the Westgate Road properties were built.
