Hello.
I am trying to find information about the large fountain that once stood at the junction of Hagley Road and Sandon Road.
I found a couple of ophotographs at

It appears on an 1888 map and the site is marked on maps up to 1955, though it is only labelled as a fountain until 1918.
A fire station is also shown adjacent on the 1918 map but disappears by 1921. Prior to that the Fire Station was located at the nearby Hagley Road Reservoir.
What I would like to know is who erected the fountain, why and when, and also what happened to it.
I would be grateful for any help or information.
