Bath Road, WELLS, BA5 3LN

This row of Edwardian terraced houses are located on the very eastern outskirts of Wells, on the southern side of the old Wells-Bath road.

A small stone and breeze block barn at the bottom of Knapp hill overlooking the Wells - Bath road.

Sign at the city boundary, junction Bath & Old Frome Roads.

A rustic welcome, baling twine and all. The growth spurt of the vegetation makes for slightly more interesting passage now the nettles have woken from their early slumber. Trousers on.

Traditional Somerset fingerpost at the junction of Bath & Old Frome Roads; tapering post with "SOMERSET" in raised letters, and pyramidal finial marked "SCC".

The valley running down the hill also has some drainage which empties into this modern culvert. It goes under the Bath Road and on further south.

The signpost on the B3139 is officially Knapp Hill, which is a hill just to the north.

Just outside the fringes of Wells, the B3139 Bath Road heads up the hill towards the Horringtons. The signpost is a typical Somerset type, but being in the Mendip Hills area it also has a triangular collar below the arms: one side is a graphic, another the name of the place and on the third is a grid reference. See Image The greengrocer's board is an additional item. A couple of odd things is that West Horrington is actually north of South Horrington, and there is no North Horrington.

Another view of Image Built about 1845 and described at http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-268200-south-lodge-to-mendip-hospital-st-cuthbe . In the foreground is the Old Frome Road; to the left it meets the B3139 Bath Road.

This building stands at what used to be the main entrance to Mendip Hospital (an asylum) which is located on the eastern outskirts of Wells. The hospital was closed in 1991 and has subsequently been redeveloped and added to, and is now known as St Cuthbert's Village.
