Businesses and residents are being asked to get behind proposals to bring back a distinctive landmark to a village community.
For 50 years a drinking fountain – with a drinking cup on a chain for residents and travellers and water troughs for the horses – stood at the heart of the crossroads in Bailiff Bridge, near Brighouse, on Calderdale’s border with Bradford, before being removed in 1962. But the dedication stone still survives and a community stalwart is hoping businesses and the community will help raise the thousands of pounds needed to create a replica fountain.
His work has been recognised with Citizens’ and Civic Trust awards, both made in the last 20 years, and he was elected to serve on Brighouse Town Board in 2017. Malcolm said the fountain was a paternal initiative for villagers, presented by Lady Janet Firth in 1911 and removed for traffic safety reasons half a century later. Pieces survived but at some point were damaged, some being stored by the council and now located.
