Description: | A drinking fountain in the form of a cubic base with an iron ball on top, to which is attached a semi-circular trough at ground level on one side, and a small stoop approximately 0.6m off the ground on the other. There is also a metal fixture which could have been a tap. The fountain is no longer working. Additional Information: A successful businessman, William Laing developed the Tyne Steam Shipping Co. with W. D.Stephens (TWNE23, q.v.) whose memorial is nearby. It is possible that his role as founder of the temperance festival on the Town Moor is the reason for the fountain being sited where it is.(1) | Subjects: | Drinking Fountain | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Designer: Not known | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=7542... | Go to resource |
