There are a few such old water fountains on Golden Hill. This one is similar to the others but has the mark of 'Glenfield', not Kennedy. Glenfield was a large iron foundry and associated industrial site in Kilmarnock that started life in the nineteenth century. Thomas Kennedy started producing water metering items and the firms merged later on.
