Dodshon’s Fountain

Dodshon’s Fountain, Stockton

John Dodshon (1811 – 1875) was a local Quaker philanthropist and president of the Temperence Society. This fountain was erected by public subscription in 1878. The fountain was moved to Ropner Park around 1892 because fish sellers were using it to clean and store fish. It was restored in 1992 and then moved back to the High Street (in a slightly different location) in 1994.
