What is recorded here
Freestanding water hydrant to west end of Chapel Road at road junction, erected c.1870, having fluted round shaft with moulded base and fluted domed cap, finial missing. Plain round spout, with recent tap to side. Maker's mark below spout.
This hydrant exhibits attractive, well executed yet restrained detailing which enlivens the form of its utilitarian purpose. It is an important reminder of town life before the widespread provision of piped water supply.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
