Canopy over drinking fountain. Late C19. Cast iron. Octagonal plan. Decorated round columns have foliated capitals.

Around the border is inscribed: "KEEP THE PAVEMENT DRY". On two sides there is an inscription, now partly illegible, instead of a stork: "Presented to the inhabitants of Tipton by Mr & Mrs C M Waring in commemoration of their golden wedding ... 190-". The canopy is surmounted by a dome, with openwork decoration between ribs. There is a canopy of similar design in Dartmouth Park, West Bromwich (qv).
