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

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

MartinR - It is tucked away a bit and at the end of a lane that's not covered by Google.  the only view I could find was from the A260 as you leave Denton heading for Folkestone.
