Pinpointing the true site of St Ann’s well which was situated inside a wooden lean to structure on the side of Mrs Blee’s farmhouse shown on the left, has been problematic, as no maps have ever been made of the lands while the farmhouse was in existence. Tarbotton’s 1881 Map of Nottingham show’s the site of St Ann’s Well, but not Mrs Blee’s farmhouse or the magical well itself. The only significant house at the top of the Wells Road at this time was number 368 on the list of St Ann’s street names in the 1883 Wrights Directory, which was occupied by Mrs Sarah Man, a greengrocer & shopkeeper.
