Beauty in Decay - Sidcot Fountain Traditional Cache

There is an easy pull in alongside the cache if you are using your car. We discovered this location whilst making regular visit to double check #38 in the WWM series. I have been meaning to place a cache since discovering this interesting site.

I have added the title beauty in decay as it seems to fit with the series description. The cache should be fairly easy to find please use the photo if stuck.

The cache is located on Fountain Lane  which is a narrow ancient country lane as described in Quaker papers of 1690 as ‘the way that leadeth from Sidcott to Woodburrow’. 

Sidcot Lane later became known as Gasworks Lane, because of the location of the School’s gas works, and finally Fountain Lane to recognise the arrival of the domestic water fountain erected in 1859 or thereabouts by George Thomas a ‘rich and eminent and philanthropic Friend of Bristol’.
