As many of you are aware, the drinking fountain near the windmill has been out of operation for some months. Despite numerous attempts at repair it continued to stop working and, unfortunately, the parts required to fix the problem were no longer made.
The Conservators were therefore extremely grateful when a local resident offered a very timely and generous donation for the restoration of the original drinking fountain and the horse trough. This donation was matched by the Drinking Fountain Association who have worked with restoration specialists to restore both the trough and the drinking fountain to their former glory.
Whilst the major part of the restoration has been completed, the specialist is waiting for the delivery of parts for the drinking fountain that needed to be specially made. We hope it will all be up and running again in the next week or two.
