The wellhouse is the last building standing of what was once the manor house of Tockholes: Hollinshead Hall. The ruins of the 18th-century hall, farm and stables are also found here, demolished by the Liverpool Corporation in 1911. The reputedly haunted wellhouse is at the meeting point of five springs, which are also said to have healing properties.
