General notes

Clitheroe has three natural wells. Heild well is situated at the bottom of Wellgate - hence its name. It is the largest of the town's public wells (it was sometimes referred to as the Town Well) and is sited at the oldest junction of roads in the town. Its name is thought to imply that it was covered at one time.
