Description

The drinking fountain located at the junction of Baslow Road and Coombs Road in Bakewell dates from around 1870 and has been altered. It is constructed from ashlar sandstone and sits on a gritstone plinth, which features three hexagonal steps. The fountain itself is triangular and designed in the Gothic Revival style, with miniature diagonal buttresses and gablets. It has semi-circular basins supported by columnar shafts, positioned beneath large gables adorned with ball-flower ornament. One side of the fountain has had its original basin removed. At the top, there is an ashlar spire with rustication and fishscale bands, culminating in a large ball finial that is now topped with a 20th-century street lamp featuring three lanterns.
