Wells Tavern

The Wells Tavern is a public house dating from around 1849, constructed of grey brick with a hipped, slated roof and projecting eaves. It is set on a corner site and has three storeys and cellars. The building occupies a rectangular plan. The Well Walk facade has four windows and an asymmetrical architraved doorway with a blocked fanlight. The ground-floor windows are architraved sashes, with the first floor windows being round-arched. The return facade facing Christchurch Hill has three windows and a central, round-arched, architraved doorway with a radial fanlight, approached by steps leading to a raised area with a cast-iron balustrade. This entrance is flanked by Venetian windows, and the first-floor windows are also round-arched. The Well Walk facade features architraved sashes. The interior was not inspected during the listing process. The pub replaced the Green Man around 1849, which itself replaced The Whitestone.
