What is recorded here
Cast-iron water hydrant erected c.1880, situated on kerbside with banded base, fluted pedestal, lion’s head spout and fluted cap with acorn finial.
Artistic detail is exhibited in the design of this water pump through the use of a lion’s head spout and finial to the cap. Water pumps formerly played an important role, socially, in the historic streetscape, being a communal source of water.
