This public spout was once supplied with water piped from prolific springs at Rushey Valley via Melton Lodge, where Major Ward Jackson lived in the mid 19th century. He built the spout and trough in 1868, but one year later most of the water was taken by the Local Board to supply a large part of the town and the spout became neglected.
