MAIN STREET W (NO 2679 0712): Kennedy well sited at road junction on corner, by low garden wall; base with projecting cast-iron bottle support, fluted cast iron column with lionhead mask water spout below roll-moulded cornice and fluted domed cap with acorn finial.[2]

Statement of special interest
