IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Clovelly Gardens, BEDLINGTON, NE22 5UG

The 1899-erected drinking fountain https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7295831, which is constructed of red sandstone ashlar with white marble and pink granite, is Grade II Listed. James Trotter, was a Scottish doctor who used to holiday in Bedlington, and eventually moved here in 1864. He became a councillor and well-loved character spending his life battling to improve the town’s living conditions. As a consequence of his work, sanitation and water supply were revolutionised. He was also a respected speaker and writer with a wry sense of humour, earning him great affection locally. After his death, public subscription allowed the erection of this drinking-fountain in his honour. Unfortunately, as can be seen in this photograph, the metal fitment for the dispensing of water has been removed and, therefore, the fountain no longer performs its primary function. However, it stands as a fitting memorial to a key figure in Bedlington’s past

The large building in the centre of Bedlington is now vacant and awaiting sale by the council after they vacated the building. The town's Jobcentre Plus office is next door.
