Coronation Fountain, North Promenade


Plaque reads: "This drinking fountain was erected on 12th May 1937 to commemorate the coronation of T. M. King George and Queen Elizabeth". The fountain is Grade II listed as it is now a rare example of a once ubiquitous form of street furniture.[1] The Coronation Fountain got a makeover with the rennovation of the Promenade in 2017.
