What is recorded here
Freestanding cast-iron water hydrant, erected c.1870, now disused. Hydrant comprises base with cylindrical fluted shaft and moulded neck with lion's head. Remains of cast-iron support for buckets. Set back from side of road, at crossroads, in a cobbled area.
This cast-iron water hydrant makes an interesting contribution to the streetscape of the crossroads. The deeply-fluted casting and lion's head elevate and provide artistic interest to this functional object.
