Disused Drinking Fountain, Northcote.

A deco drinking fountain, non-operating, near the corner of St Georges Road and Merri Parade in Northcote.

Once it held a place of honour in the community and provided a function of drinking water for walkers and cyclists using the nearby Merri Creek Trail. Now it is unloved and unused.

A plaque on the other side reads

Erected by Citizens of Northcote
In Memory of
Cr Joseph Henry Green JP
Elected 27.6.1927 Mayor Year 1930-31
Died 22.9.1939

I wonder what those citizens and the late Cr Green's family would think of it now.
