This beautiful fountain was sculpted in 1912, a gift to the people of Oamaru, NZ by a local JP, James Craig.
It stopped working in the 1990's and has recently been restored, along with the two drinking fountains of the same vintage. It is made of Italian marble and is a registered Category II Heritage Structure.
The restoration required it to be dismantled and large surrounding areas dug up, and took several months to complete. I was delighted last week to see it working once more after so many years.
