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.

This attractive water hydrant stands on the kerbside in the small town of Crinkill. It now remains as a reminder of a past era and a decorative piece of street furniture. The lion’s head water spout, the decorative fluting on the pedestal and cap along with the acorn finial are a testament to the Victorian engineers who treated this item in more than simply functional terms.
