Pinner: The Tooke drinking fountain

The fountain was erected in 1886 by the inhabitants of Pinner in grateful memory of William Arthur Tooke, JP, a local dignitary. It is on a small triangular green at the junction of Church Lane and Moss Lane. With its columns of red granite and with its grey granite broach spire it is a Grade II Listed structure. Unfortunately its drinking fountain capabilites appear to have been lost for some time.
