This public drinking fountain looks like a relic from a 1950s school playground. It is located in Ilsham Road, close to the junction with Asheldon Road. It is barely attached to the wall, relying heavily on the water supply pipes, and possibly on the ivy which is growing over it to keep it in place. It doesn't work.
