Fountain And Trough 20 Metres South Of Number 2

The fountain and trough located 20 metres south of Number 2 is a public drinking fountain and horse trough built in 1911 for Alice and Maude Scurfield to commemorate the accession of King George V. It is made of ashlar sandstone with a pink granite trough and bowl, designed in a classical style. The structure features a 3.5-metre-tall square-plan pier with banded rustication and a corniced cap, topped by a large stone vase adorned with carved fruit and flower festoons. There are shorter and narrower flanking piers, also with banded rustication, which are crowned with S-scrolls. The large semicircular trough has a moulded lip and was originally fed by a water spout that emerges from a grotesque mask head on the main pier. Above the mask head is a raised panel inscribed: "ERECTED BY ALICE AND MAUDE SCURFIELD TO COMMEMORATE THE ACCESSION OF HIS MAJESTY GEORGE V 1911." Additionally, there is a small bowl and public drinking fountain at the rear.
