Bailiff Bridge Fountain
Here is the Bailiff Bridge fountain and drinking trough which was formally handed over to the Hipperholme Urban District Council to be custodians of it. LadyJanet Firth, the wife fo Sir Algernon Firth of T.F.Firth Manufacturing Co Ltd, who donated and presented it left a sum of money to ensure that it would not become a financial burden to the rate payers.
Sadly, by 1962, the authorities decided that it was a road hazard and had to go. Now it would have been a nice gesture for it to have been rebuilt in the memorial park. But it was not to be.
