Description

Freestanding cast-iron "lion mask" water hydrant, extant 1939. Now disused. Road fronted on hardcore gravel verge.

Appraisal

A "lion mask" water hydrant supplied by 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 a sylvan street scene (cf. 11820004; 11820031; 11820037; 11820041).
