If there's one place that likes water, it's Newborough. It has three well-dressings, which is rather a lot, even for a town so near to Derbyshire, where they really do love well-dressings.
You'll find this monument, which celebrates the long history of Newborough, right in its centre. In the old days, an old trough which ran into a spring nearby carried these words on its side: "Aqua Pura Nequa Dura, Omnibus Satis Atque Gratis" (Pure water, not hard, enough for all and free) - and you can see this monument has copied those sentiments.
