Edward VII's crowning was marked with this elegant feature. It is a gas lantern, water fountain and horse trough all in one; the trough overflows into dog bowls for added measure. Now used for flower displays it was cast in Coalbrookdale in 1902 for T.C. Head, the local ironmonger. Restored for Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee, Grade II listed.
