History
After Dudley market place was cleaned and paved by the newly established Borough Council, there was a need for a public amenity that would ornament and enhance the market place.
The fountain was designed by James Forsyth, a Scottish sculptor who had also designed the Perseus fountain at Whitley Court in Worcestershire.
