metres north-east of The Lake
II
Memorial drinking fountain. Dated 1893. Grey granite base and
pink granite dado and socles; terracotta blocks and sandstone
dressings. Square in plan, with 8-sided corner piers; 2
stages. Free interpretation of Tudor style. Granite base of 3
steps. Each corner pier is panelled and covered with floral
tracery. Each face dominated by a segmental arch, subordered
and moulded, above which is sandstone acanthus cornice and
flared segmental pediment. The traceried piers continue above
this cornice terminating in 8-sided, onion-domed pinnacles. In
the centre of the roof rises a cupola of red sandstone moulded
with a variety of Tudor- and Elizabethan-period classical
mouldings. The basins, now gone, were originally set in
round-arched aedicules under the segmental arches. The
tympanum of this aedicule filled with floral scrolls and
shells. Inscriptions on a granite plaque above the former
location of each basin remain. That on the south-east face
reads: "Borough of Brighton Recreation Grounds Committee 1891.
