I love the epitaph on this memorial fountain, which is dedicated to Henry Evan Charles, a local engineer and philanthropist who died in 1907. "HE WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD". I really cannot imagine a better description of someone's life .
Unfortunately, the fountain, which can be found along Francis Street near Victoria Park, is in a state of disrepair and no longer works. The metal plaque, although officially credited to Ivor Thomas was actually the work his apprentice J. Cecil Jones, who also made the more famous memorial to Swansea Jack. I will take a visit to this latter memorial soon...
