Lower Wyche Spout

Lower Wyche Spout
Location: Old Wyche Road, Lower Wyche.
Grid Reference: SO77254423

Above the Wells Common on the Old Wyche Road, beside the cottages is a curved Malvern stone wall fronting an underground settlement tank, which supplied the spout with spring water until about 2001, but is now almost dry. The spring water supply pipe to the tank is believed to have ruptured, though the supply to the animal trough below is still flowing.

Donated by Charles Morris in 1840, this is one of three public spouts that he created for the use of local inhabitants, usually the poorer residents who didn't own a private well and needed a reliable water supply. The MSA hope that repairs to this site as part of the Springs Restoration Project, will re-establish the water supply by 2008.
