Palindromic Fountain

Matlock Bath is a Victorian spa town. Thermal springs, heavily laden with calcium carbonate, are to be found in various locations, where people would come to ‘take the waters’.

 

This public drinking fountain, dated 1881, has had a cage attached, presumably to prevent some sticky fingered lout from taking the brass tap.
