Business advisors and chartered accountants in Bewell House, a mid 18th century building which was Grade II (star) listed in 1972. The Young & Co website states that the name Bewell has a couple of possible derivations. The first is Behind-the-wall with the street sitting inside the old city wall. The second is Bew-well which suggests that there was once a well on the site. A local antiquarian, Mr W. Pitley, always maintained that there was an ancient spring on the site which was used in the brewery. In one of the many developments of Bewell Street an inscription was found at the base of the brewery wall stating 'Well, 71 feet, 1724.'
