Description

The Former Old Bell Inn is a late 18th-century inn located at 16 Nene Quay in Wisbech. It is constructed of painted local brown brick and features three storeys with a double pile and a symmetrical facade of three bays. The building has side stacks and a shallow stone-coped parapet, with brick bands separating the floors.

On the second floor, there are three casement windows, while the ground floor has three large sixteen-paned hung sash windows set in cambered brick arches with stone cills. The main entrance features a modern door in a recessed flat arch with a rectangular fan-light above it. To the north, there is a two-storey wing with a parapet, which includes two small first-floor windows and two entrances.

Photographs and prints of the inn are held by the Wisbech and Museum, and it is referenced in A.A. Oldham's "Inns and Taverns of Wisbech," published in 1950.
