I don't know where I stand regards being an occasional or frequent posting member, but I've not done so many recently. Because of this, I'll have a go at the Sidney Cooper Weston drinking fountain at the junction of Wear Bay Crescent and Wear Bay Road, Folkestone?

Come on Members don't be shy.
   We don't bite,its all fun and you learn a lot about whereabouts of landmarks and places in Kent. There must be at least one of the 251 members that havent had a go yet.
   We are not an exclusive club we would love more members to join in . It gets monotonous when there are only half a dozen of us playing.
              Please,Please , Join in.You will be welcomed by us all.

I would love to but after a 50 year absence my mind grows dim.... :) But keep up the good work as I do still like to check what others are doing.

Now the whole picture for you, so 'where' is this Fountain?

And what is the most recent "Vandalism" Story (there is a twist).

This is part of the Base Section, a Trough for drinking.
The Fountain was erected to remember a Photographer to the Royal family (and many other archivements) also know as a Quaker and a Christian Philanthropist

Another shot.

This has a very unusual story of recent "vandalism" and the action taken

It is a Fountain design.  This is one of Four Piers in the image.
