7, Well Walk

No. 7 Well Walk is a house that has been converted into a shop. It was built between 1776 and 1799 and has undergone later additions and alterations, including a ground-floor shop front added in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of brick, which is now whitewashed, and features a concealed roof.

The exterior consists of three storeys with one window on the first floor. The first floor has an elliptical bay with a 6/6 sash window flanked by two 4/4 sash windows. The second floor has casement windows set in plain reveals, with a sill that has a flat arch made of rubbed brick. The shop front includes a multi-paned window and double doors that are off-centre to the left, with steps leading up to them.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, Well Walk, also known as Old Well Walk in the 19th century, was laid out in 1743 by the town surveyor, Andrews, based on designs from Norborne Berkeley. It was originally a long avenue of elms extending over 900 yards past Henry Skillicorne's original Pump Room and Well, leading to the lower part of what is now Bayshill Road. This Walk, along with its 18th-century houses, is an important part of the 18th-century spa town development and serves as one of the entrances to the Parish Church of St Mary on Church Street.
