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
