Description

The photographer's notes state: 'View of the moated island from S.E from the house. The old bridge in the immediate foreground on right. The south range (south front) of the farmbuildings at the back on right'.

Well Hall was originally a 16th century moated manor house owned by the Roper Family. It was demolished in 1733 and replaced with Well Hall House, which was itself demolished in the summer of 1931. The grounds of the house became Well Hall Pleasaunce Public Park.

At the time this photograph was taken the house appears to have been unoccupied.
