Recently on the Facebook page called ye olde padiham , there has been numerous discussions on numerous pictures of the Fountain that use to be located at the bottom on Victoria Road opposite what once was a tech school and is now some horrid house/flat things.

I remember numerous accidents on this site with cars and I feel that by restoring the fountain that will not only help reduce accidents but will also bring a sence of pride and historical factors back to this lovely town that has change and lost some wonderful original feature such as this fountain
