What is recorded here
Wall-mounted cast-iron fountain, dated 1854, on an engaged half-octagonal plan. Now disused. Street fronted.
A fountain erected (1854) 'by JOHN GREENE [1803-90] MAYOR' representing an interesting example of cast-iron work making a pleasing, if largely inconspicuous visual statement in John Street Upper. NOTE: A lost tradition saw the fountain used to determine social status in Wexford according to place of residence "above or below The Cock o' John Street".
