Freestanding cast-iron water hydrant, c.1880, having fluted shaft with lion mask spout and acorn finial. Set on limestone plinth.

This cast-iron water hydrant makes an interesting contribution to the streetscape. The fluted casting provides artistic detail and this functional object is further enlivened by the lion's head spout and acorn finial.
