The Well House

The well house is single-storey with a flat roof and is surrounded by a bank to the sides and rear. The facade has been refaced in random rubble with wide joints, but the original door and window openings have been retained. Central doorway with flat head containing a planked door, flanked by small square windows with wooden frames and metal grilles. The front angles of the building are curved, and retaining walls extend to the L and R, the former with 2 buttresses. Flat concrete-covered roof sloping down slightly towards the rear, and set below the level of the surrounding brick walls. Square brick vents rise from within the side walls.

Inside the building is a full-width pool of tepid water. In front of the pool is a narrow quarry-tiled floor area, surrounded by a rendered kerb. Straight steps with metal handrails lead into the water to the L and R sides. The interior walls are rendered. There are 3 square blocked openings in the L wall, that to the centre deeper and with a raked sill. Single large recess to rear wall, partly under water. Raised plinth to R wall. The ceiling is of concrete sections with cast iron cross beams, and contains a hatch. When the pool is drained, there is said to be a circular well beneath at least 20m deep, and with spiral stairs leading down.
