Listing the little treasures?

hitchingrings4449As various development works go on throughout the town, maybe it is time to consider some of the unique things that need to be preserved, such as this hitching ring in the wall at the Library (old Boys School).

Should someone undertake a project to list thing like this? After all, if Jim Collins hadn't -- literally -- resurrected it, the Spout that served as the source of water for the village for hundreds of years would have remained buried under the development of the Valley Park.
