2019 253-365 Queen Victoria's Jubilee Fountain
This drinking fountain was first installed in the Carfax in Horsham in 1898 to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
In 1947 it became a traffic hazard, and was removed, and remained in storage for 30 years.
In 1977 it was re-sited in Copnall Way for Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee and an inscription was added to mark the occasion. In 1994 it was moved to it's present location in Chart Way. The original drinking mugs, once chained on, have long since disappeared.
