Fountain


In the nineteenth century it was a regular occurrence for statues, fountains and clocks to be erected by public subscription to commemorate particular events or people. The people tended to be rather better off than the poor devils who were expected to contribute to their glorification. This fountain in Heckmondwike gives double value as it is topped off with a clock! It commemorates the March 1863 wedding of the Prince of Wales to Princess Alexandra of Denmark. I presume that the faces carved in Yorkshire Stone are meant to represent the happy couple.
