Lamp, pump and throstle
Image: © Rose and Trev Clough Taken: 4 Jun 2011
Located at the side of Water Street car park. The old gas lamp and public pump stood in the market place http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2472063 until the memorial fountain was erected there in 1872. Wigton is known as "The Throstle's Nest of All England" (one explanation here : http://www.thecumbriadirectory.com/Town_or_Village/location.php?url=wigton ), hence the bird sculpture.
