What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron water hydrant, c.1880, with fluted shaft having fluted cap with acorn finial and lion mask spout.

This cast-iron water hydrant makes an interesting contribution to the streetscape. The fluted casting provides artistic detail and this functional object is further enlivened by the lion's head and acorn finial.
