| Midlands Water fountain, Etruria Park, SoT Posted: 03 Nov 2011 06:05 AM PDT "Then then Mayor of Hanley, Councillor H. B. Shirley, and his brother, Alderman Jesse Shirley, presented a drinking fountain cut in grey stone. It was first intended that this fountain should be placed in the centre of Howard Place, Shelton. Made by Mr. Forbes, of Shelton, the funds for the purchase were to be raised by public subscription, but these were not forthcoming. In due course Mr. Shirley and his brother purchased it, intending to place it in Hanley Park, but it was thought that the grey stone would not be suitable, so to Etruria Park it finally went. The fountain is squarely built, with a pagoda-like top."
