Description: Looking north from Brewhouse Yard and showing The Gate Hangs Well, on the corner of Brewhouse Yard and Castle Road, which closed in 1905. It was linked by a series of caves, which were carved out of the sandstone rocks behind it, to The Trip to Jerusalem Inn, which can be seen on the left. Behind them are the walls and bastions of Nottingham Castle. It has been suggested that the inns here served as breweries for the Castle above, taking their water from The River Leen which ran close by (now culverted underground). At the time of this photograph, the proprietor of the Gate Hangs Well was Joseph Willers (?). Thomas Sandby, the famous Nottingham artist did an illustration in 1741 which shows the area in detail, including trees, Rock Cottage, chimneys and the Gate Hangs Well public house.
