King Edward VII Memorial Fountain
The memorial drinking fountain dedicated to King Edward VII was unveiled at the courthouse. In the beginning, little bronze cups were left for drinkers...but they kept getting stolen. The first drink was taken by Mayor James Findlay. Today the fountain is on the east side of Hornby next to the Art Gallery.
