Wynds Point Spout
Location: Opposite British Camp car park by the roadside.
Grid Reference: SO76364040


At British Camp road junction, opposite the car park, this spout in a stone pillar marked "Pure Drinking Water" (now dry) can be seen in the railings beside the road. The main road is dangerous here and the 'pavement' narrow, so cross with care.

The spout was once supplied from a natural spring in the grounds of Wynds Point, the 19th century home of famous singer Jenny Lind, then popularly known as the "Swedish Nightingale". The house is now owned by the Cadbury family and has several wells in the grounds that are still supplied from this prolific source.
