The Pump House Tavern
II
Houses, now shops and a tavern, the whole known as "The Pump
House". Late C18 or early C19 fronting of a building which may
be earlier; restored since 1980. Mathematical tile, stucco to
short right return. Roof of tile.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys over basement. One window each. The ground
floor of each has a full-width, segmental-bay shop front. The
original glazing bars and spandrels of each removed in a
recent restoration. Tuscan pilasters frame each bay and
support an entablature with modillioned cornice which is
continuous across all 3 shops. There is tripartite,
first-floor window to each, that to No.44 being a reproduction
of an original late C18 or early C19 design. All openings are
flat arched. Low parapet with metal coping. One roof dormer to
each. Single entrance to return. The stack to left wall of
No.44 is brick and has been much rebuilt in the late C20.
Another stack in the end wall of No.46 with parapet wall
stretching to rear half of building.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
The name was applied to a building on this site at least as
early as 1776 and may derive from the town well which stood
not far away on the Knab, now known as Brighton Place.
