Look what popped into my inbox today - a photo of the Gemmill Fountain! She's a beauty isn't she? They don't make drinking fountains like they used to. Many thanks to Angelita from the National Heritage Board.
Inscription on the fountain:
FOR THE USE OF ALL NATIONS
AT
SINGAPORE
THIS DRINKING FOUNTAIN
OF PURE WATER IS THE GIFT OF
JOHN GEMMILL
FORMERLY OF THIS ISLAND
AND NOW OF LONDON
1864
