Description
The drinking fountain opposite No 7, Mount Pleasant is a Gothic style stone structure, built in 1887 to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. It was relocated to its current position around 2005.
Constructed from Portland stone and pink granite, the fountain has a square plan. It features a superstructure made of Portland stone with gables on all four sides, resting on a battered and coped base, also of Portland stone. The fountain is set within a trefoil-headed niche on the north-west (front) elevation, where the inscription THE JUBILEE OF QUEEN VICTORIA is displayed above. Above this inscription is a quatrefoil panel that bears the date 1887. Inside the niche, there is a bowl and a fountain-back made of polished pink granite, along with a metal spout mechanism that has cast letters reading: J. TYLOR AND SONS LTD, 2 NEWGATE ST. LONDON.
