Oliver Barrett's sculpture 'Spring', situated outside All Saints Church and the old Jug and Jester pub (regrettably now named the Old Library) in Leamington Spa, has traditionally provided a puzzle for inebriated climbers stumbling past.
The sculpture was installed in 2007 and replaced a stone pillar which indicated the site of the original spa spring, known as Lord Aylesford's Well.

Some to the Dog do go to drink,
But I go there to smoke and think
To hear folks tell, o'er cup of ale,
How Leamington doth wag its tail.
