Description

The Hob in the Well Public House is an early 19th-century building located on Littleport Street in King's Lynn. It is constructed of brick and features a slate roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, arranged in three bays. The central entrance consists of a door with a plain hood supported by curved consoles, flanked on both sides by a tripartite sash window that has glazing bars and gauged skewback arches. Above the entrance, there are two identical sash windows, and between them, there is a horned sash window positioned over the door. The roof is gabled and has internal gable-end stacks. To the west, there is a single-storey extension from the late 19th century, which incorporates remains of the town wall that runs south down Littleport Terrace.
