Drinking fountain, Hornby
Drinking fountain with cat and rat plaque, Hornby in Lancashire.
The cat with a rat it its mouth refers to the former owner of Hornby Castle, Pudsey Dawson, who brought in cats to clear the castle from a plague of rats in the nineteenth century.
The water spout is a lion's head.
