The Gothic Well on Wells Road, Malvern An old wooden green door stood under the central arch until recently, but this has now been bricked up.
This gave access to a chamber going 30 feet into the hillside to the well which supplied 30,000 gallons of water per day. 
During the war the chamber was used as an air raid shelter.
