Chepstow - granite drinking fountain
Chepstow - granite drinking fountain
This drinking fountain used to stand in Bank Square where, in 1878, it had replaced one of Chepstow's ancient town pumps. Some time after WW2, vandalism had caused Chepstow Town Council to give up trying to maintain it in working order, and had it moved here, the top end of Castle Dell where it continues to be vandalised: the top having been knocked off and replaced just recently. (ref. "The Town of Chepstow" by Ivor Waters).
