Fountain

Temperance

Erection date: 1884

Inscription

{On a shield attached to the plinth:}
The gift of the United Kingdom Temperance & General Provident Institution

{Another shield gives the date:}
1884

We feel the date probably gives a clue to what this substantial fountain was erected to commemorate, but we can't think what. Any ideas?
