What is recorded here
Cast-iron water hydrant, erected c.1870, with lion's head to spout. Fluted base and cap, with finial and side handle. Set in concrete.
This cast-iron water hydrant makes a pleasing contribution to the streetscape. Artistic detail is employed to enliven this functional object, with the lion's head detail to spout being particularly notable.
