Pant Well, Market Place, Selkirk

Pant Well, located in the Market Place of Selkirk, was designed by Peddie and Washington Browne in 1898, possibly incorporating earlier materials. The building is constructed from sandstone ashlar and has a square plan. Each side features a base course, panelled pilasters, an architrave, a frieze, and a mutule cornice topped with a coped parapet. At each corner, there are obelisk finials, and a central shaft with a crocket capital supports a carved lion holding a shield.

On the northwest elevation, there is a round-arched niche containing a lion-headed tap and a granite bowl. Above this, a square plaque displays a red sandstone carved heraldic shield. The frieze is inscribed with "AD 1837-1897," and there is a portrait of Queen Victoria within the shield, surrounded by acanthus foliate carving on the parapet above.

The northeast elevation features a bowed base course with a granite horse trough at the center. Above this, a bronze plaque commemorates the members of the Selkirk Detachment Border Rifles who fought in the Boer War from 1900 to 1903, along with the town emblem and foliate carving on the parapet.

The southeast elevation is blank except for a heraldic shield on the parapet. The southwest elevation has a central two-leaf boarded door, with a heraldic shield and foliate carving above on the parapet.
