Several historians of York mention Pikeing Well (also known as Lady Well and Spring Well) in the
18th and 19th centuries as one of the Georgian attractions of the city. It is associated with the
promenade called New Walk which was laid out in 1732-4 for public use and entertainment.
Initially the walk was named ‘The Long Walk’ but it became better known as ‘New Walk’ by
which name it was popularly called.

By the 1750s, mineral water spas were popular places to visit. York did not have mineral water springs, so the city council instead decided to commission a decorative wellhead over an existing well. It claimed that the water was useful for healing illness related to the eye.
