Pump, water trough and bench on a small patch of roadside verge on a bend in Garratts Lane. The backdrop of the C19 listed boundary wall of 19 Garratts Lane ('Little Garratts') (the entrance to which is beyond the trough) is evocative of an earlier age. The pump is a replacement, following accidental damage in 2000-01. Compare with this historical postcard: http://www.bansteadhistory.com/Garratts_pump_300179.jpg
