Sam Wellers

Sam Wellers is a public house located at No. 14 Upper Borough Walls, dating from around 1781. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with a Welsh slate roof. The building has a single depth plan and has been extended to the rear, with its only street frontage facing south.

The exterior features three storeys, an attic, and a cellar, with a three-window arrangement on the upper floors. The right-hand window on the first floor has a pediment set within a shallow arched recess, with an impost band running across. All the windows are late 19th-century plate glass sashes. The ground floor has a late 19th-century public house front, including a band below the cornice, a dentil cornice, and a parapet. The roof is a mansard style with two flat-topped dormers.

Inside, the ground floor has been significantly altered. Historically, the first floor elevation indicates that this building was once part of a larger development, which was modified when New Bond Street Place was constructed after 1824. First leased in 1781, it has operated as a public house since at least 1800, primarily known as the 'Full Moon'. The building features a transitional front, showcasing an old-fashioned pedimental window surround within a shallow blind opening, a design later commonly used by architect John Pinch.
