A rectangular drinking fountain with stepped base. There are basins on two sides with metal flowers which once served as the water spouts for the fountain. On one face there is a metal plaque with a rose, shamrock-thistle and inscription. Each face has a Gothic arch and the whole is topped by a circular structure, from which parts may be missing. The fountain was presented by Samuel Tufnell Southgate, a wealthy local citizen who lived at Hazelwood in Upper Norwood.
