View of High Street from the Memorial Fountain
The yellow building on the right, now a Chinese takeaway, was formerly the King's Head Inn. It originally had a gallery projecting over the street, and is one of Wigton's oldest buildings (information from "Wigton through time", T.Grahamslaw 2010 http://www.amberleybooks.com/shop/article_9781848688063/Wigton-Through-Time%3CBR%3E%3CI%3ETrevor-Grahamslaw%3C_I%3E.html?shop_param=cid%3D16%26aid%3D9781848688063%26 ).

Lamp, pump and throstle
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.
