The Crampton Memorial Fountain, Dublin. Erected in 1862 to commemorate a local doctor, and removed in 1959 after part of the “pineapple” fell on top of a postman.

   Does it still.exist somewhere, or was it melted down? Shame they didn’t just fix it.

   Must have been one hell of a doctor.

   Why did they remove the whole thing?
