NT 263 747 (centre) During construction work in June 1998 at the site of the Gateway Theatre, a previously unrecorded stone- and brick-lined well was discovered. The location of the well was recorded and the remains of a post-medieval wooden lift-pump recovered. The pump was formed from a single hollowed tree trunk. The well probably belonged to the New Veterinary College, built in 1873.
