Freestanding cast-iron "lion mask" water hydrant, extant 1939. Now disused. Street fronted on concrete footpath.
A "lion mask" water hydrant attributable to Glenfield and Kennedy (established 1852) of Kilmarnock representing an interesting example of mass-produced cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in Windmill Lane.
