Disused Drinking Fountain Opposite Number 7 Well Lane

The disused drinking fountain, located opposite number 7 Well Lane, is likely from the mid to late 19th century. It is a granite monolith set into a wall, standing about 1 metre high. The fountain features a round-headed block with a round-headed niche at the front. Inside the niche, there is a stopped pipe instead of a tap, and a wrought iron bar spans the front of the niche. This fountain is one of six surviving drinking fountains that provided water to the village of Constantine, which was piped from the top of the village. These fountains were installed to meet the needs of the growing population, driven by the success of the nearby Wheal Vyvyan tin mine.
