The Seaton Carew fountain, Hartlepool,  County Durham, UK 1870, Removed 1933
This fountain was exactly the same as the one that is in Alum Chine, Westbourne, Bournemouth.

Seaton Carew drinking fountain was installed on The Green in 1870, as a gift from William Charles Ward Jackson, and is marked on the 1897 OS map.

This particular design of drinking fountain is listed as Design Number 24 on Page 42 of the 1879 publication "An Illustrated book of Designs for Fountains and Vases, costing from £1 to £1200 manufactured by Andrew Handyside".

The price for this fountain is listed in April 1880 as between £18 0s 0d and £20 5s 0d depending what finish was applied (no finish, bronze/marble paint etc).

According to the drawing its 6 foot 7 inches from the base to the bottom of the lamp support and included an animal drinking trough in the base

A newspaper article from the Hartlepool Northern Daily Mail in 1919 indicates that the fountain had fallen into disrepair, or possibly been removed; by 1933, another article indicates that the fountain had been removed. While the exact date and reason for its removal cannot be ascertained, the approximate date of its removal can be narrowed down to the early 20th Century
