Date:1916

Description:The Sidney Fountain was erected in 1889 in memory of Thomas Sidney, a local man who became Mayor of London. In 1916 the drinking fountain had its lamp replaced by a four-dial clock, which was presented by George Bruckshaw to celebrate his fifty years residence in Stafford.

The fountain was destroyed in 1928 when a motor van ran into it; the clock was later restored and mounted on a new post near to its original site.
