the Fountain Shipley
replied on: 1/1/2006 8:40:36 PM

it is many years since I went to Shipley,but the topic about the Field made me recall what we used to call the fountain.I remember a large brick built round tower like structure with water dripping down the sides and ferns,weeds and other growths hanging down off it .I think it was in a small copse surrounded by iron railings .Was it some sort of water supply tank ?I wonder why we called it the fountain ?
