GV II

House, now shop. c1776-1799 with later additions and alterations, including late C20 ground-floor shop front. Brick, now whitewashed, with concealed roof. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys, 1 first-floor window.

Shop front: multi-paned window and double, steps to multi-paned doors off-centre left. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: Well Walk (or Old Well Walk as it was known in the C19) was laid out by Andrews (the town surveyor) in 1743 to designs supplied by Norborne Berkeley as a long avenue of elms extending for over 900 yards past Henry Skillicorne's original Pump Room and Well to the lower part of what is now Bayshill Road. As such, this Walk with its C18 houses, is an important survival of the C18 spa town development and frames one of the entrance ways to the Parish Church of St Mary, Church Street (qv). (Little B: Cheltenham: London: 1952-: 34).
