Dead easy!! This drinking fountain was built in 1865. It originally stood in what is now the junction of Kirkstall Road and Bridge Road in Leeds. It has now been moved to a nearby spot previously occupied by Kirkstall Police Station. The inscription reads "Drink and Be Grateful".

Yup, a slogan I've suggested my employers use in their PR campaigns and they seem to be strangely reluctant.

Sad to say that, in recent years, I've seen it used for a far less savoury aspect of the drinking process by those who should know better in such a prominent and busy location - at least its not a War Memorial !!
