The Bulls Head and Pump Corner. Supplying London coaches from the 18th century, the inn became famed in the 19th century for its coachman, William Broad, possibly the model for Charles Dickens' Toby Weller in The Pickwick Papers. At the opposite corner stands the pump. It was installed in 1780 to draw water from the well which had been the centre of the town since the Middle Ages.
