Over the last


few months, this area has been under regeneration by the Town Council. Following complete clear- ance of the area, a level paved area now spans from the wall to the surrounding pavement. A new tree features in the centre within an ornamental tree guard, sign posting, ornamental lamps, plant troughs, cycle racks, benches, bins and an old Telephone Box (noticeboard), have all been placed to enhance the area and make it a pleasant place to stop and have a rest. In bygone years the troughs which were by Lord Clifford


unveiled on 12 November


1887, once provided water for cattle, horses and dogs.


To celebrate the year 2000, the second


Millennium, Teign School students assisted artist Jane Hutchings to create the beautiful mosaic sited in front of the troughs, a wonderful piece of art for all to admire.


These days the Town Council plant them up


with seasonal flowering. A large Christmas Tree is sited and lit up annually at the Fountain to enhance the town for the festive season.
