Description: The original plan for erecting a column to commemorate the Battle of Trafalgar was later dropped when it was realised how much taller the column would be than the very expensive houses around it. It wasn't until 1877 that the plinth was used for a fountain.
On Stone by H. Worsley. Printed by Graf and Soret. See Image Ref. 16671.
