Style Road, TAUNTON, TA4 2LN

The Way leaves Style Road on the northern edge of the town through the gap beside this house.

Apart from the old cottages and newer houses, there is an old water source set into the wall. See Image] for a closer look.

An old fountain is still respected at the bottom of the hill. See Image] for a location view.

The length of Golden Hill in Wiveliscombe is dotted with a number of public water fountains. This one is at the junction with Burges Close and shows the square plate, tap and spout that was made by the Kilmarnock foundry of Thomas Kennedy. Thomas Kennedy (senior) was born in Argylshire but moved to Kilmarnock in 1824. Principally a watch and clockmaker he became involved in making a water meter system with his partner, John Cameron. The firm made several products for the water industry, and Wiveliscombe has several still surviving, although it seems none actually dispense water any more.

Taken from Style Road; the other side of the road is built-up. Behind the row of poplars is a rugby ground.

A residential cul-de-sac at the end of Old Brewery Road, seen from the point where a footpath from Golden Hill emerges.

Taken from a little further down the hill than Image The street winds attractively down the hill away from the town centre.

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.

A reference to its environmental credentials, rather than its use to grow vegetables. The old brewery chimney remains part of the landscape, recalling the major role in the town's employment.
