Located in a small park along historic St. George Street, this 19th century cast iron horse head hitching post has a very weathered black painted surface that is now quite rusted. The hitching post "bridle" where a real horse would have been up tied to is missing from this lovely relic.
We were unable to find out any information on the history of this specific hitching post, but we did find an example of one on the internet that provides information on its age (http://www.prices4antiques.com/miscellaneous/garden-related/Hitching-Post-Cast-Iron-Finial-Horse-Head-14-inch-B176931.htm).
