Lamp, pump and throstle
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 Link until the memorial fountain was erected there in 1872.
Wigton is known as "The Throstle's Nest of All England" (one explanation here : LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link ) ), hence the bird sculpture.
