Fountain Inn

GV II

Steelyard, a device for weighing wagons, probably C18 in
origin. The machinery is raised on & yellow gault brick base
and is protected from the weather by a timber frame and weather-
boarded casing with tiled gabled roof. Much of the machinery is
probably late C19 or C20 but part of the main arm and post are
original.
