The white carved stone between the floors of the building tells us this is 'The Wells and Campden baths and wash houses 1888' - Wells and Campden was a charity organisation. Located opposite the green on Flask Walk, it was originally a place where you could get drinking water (the building is located next to the site of the original Chalybeate spring) and a bath - many of the workers houses in the area did not have running water at the time. The building was converted to housing in 1981. Information from a variety of websites.
