About

The cattle market used to be held in this lower wider part of Galgate. The elaborate Gothic stone drinking fountain, drinking fountain that is still in the centre, was designed to serve both man and beast. It was fed by an underground spring. Paid for by public subscription, it was erected in 1874. It ceased use in 1992.
