Description

The water conduit, dated 1846 and restored in 1887, is constructed from ashlar with a sandstone trough. It features a Tudor-arched recess that contains a stone trough. Inside the recess, there is a plaque with the inlaid inscription 'RESTORED / THE YEAR OF JUBILEE / 1887', positioned above the pipe that provides the water supply. The date '1846' is displayed above the arch of the recess, and the structure is topped with stepped coping.
