What is recorded here

Free-standing cast-iron water hydrant, installed c.1860, having moulded base, fluted shaft, moulded neck and domed cap with moulding and fluting, with acorn finial. Plain cast spout, moulded knob-handle, and with bucket stand to base. Sited adjacent to front boundary wall of house.
This cast-iron water hydrant is particularly intact and makes an important contribution to the streetscape. The fluted casting provides artistic detail, further enlivened by the acorn finial. It is now rare to find such a good example in our townscapes.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
