Wetherspoon has explained the name choice behind their new Merseyside pub.
The Prense Well branch of Wetherspoon will open at 1-5 The Mount on the site of the former Exchange Bar in Heswall, Wirral, later this year.
The bar had its licence approved in September last year and will open until 1.30am on Fridays and Saturdays, and until 00.30am for the rest of the week.

This had been controversial among residents close to the new venue but it was passed by Wirral Council.
Now following the announcement of the pub's name on signage outside the building, Wetherspoon has explained the meaning behind it and its nod to local history.
A spokesperson for Wetherspoon said: "The Hessle Well was one of the village's many wells. A plaque on the boundary wall of Hessle Well House states that the well closed in 1891.
"Heswall was also served by the Pin Well, Lightfoot Well, Rosebank Well, Bank House Well and Far Well.
"The Penns or Prense Well seems to have been one of the main wells. It was sited on Telegraph Road, little more than a stone's throw from the former Exchange Bar, on what is now the forecourt of Costa Coffee and Domino's Pizza."
The Prense Well will open later this year after the completion of the £2.2m investment and the company said it will create 50 full and part-time jobs.
