Portway Building, Wells
Wells Learning Centre is based in this curious building dating from 1900 (though Pevsner gives 1898) and 1913, on the corner of Portway (left) and Portway Avenue. It was built as a girls' school, and has a central wooden cupola and an octagonal turret surmounted by a lead finial. Pevsner, in the 1958 edition of "North Somerset and Bristol", describes this as "quite a pretty example of the freedom from imitation of the past which was then current amongst the brighter architects".
