| Location: Originally sited in Peel Square; moved to Locke Park and reopened on Oct 26th 1866. [1] Inscription: The inscription is badly worn but the date 1859 can be made out on it. "ERECTED / BY SUBSCRIPTION / UND***************** / *UNDAY SCHOOL **********D UNION / 1859" Commission: Not known. Comment: Exceptionally badly vandalised, like several items in the Park. It was apparently in good condition c. 1980. References: [1] "Occurrances and Events of Interest in Barnsley and District, 1229 - 1922" Questions: Who commissioned this fountain and what did it cost? What is the full inscription? Is it dedicated to any individual? |
