Grade II Listed 1871 fountain by Henry Rice and Grade II Listed horse trough dated 1893 and inscribed 'PRESENTED TO THE BOROUGH BY A LOVER OF ANIMALS'. The fountain was given to the town by Michael Loam, whose father invented the Man Engine (a device for lifting men up and down mineshafts, and used in many mines throughout Cornwall & West Devon). A blue plaque reads 'FOUNTAIN erected in 1871 by Borough Mayor MATTHEW LOAM in memory of his father Michael Loam'.
