Plaque Wording: The Information board reads 'This fountain was erected in memory of the temperance advocate Jabez West and formally unveiled on 3rd April 1885. Jabez West (6th June 1810 - 13th May 1884) was a blacksmith's son from Princes Risborough, who came to Bermondsey in the 1830s. He worked in the leather trade but became best known in the area for devoting his time to political reform and the temperance movement. He also campaigned for Southwark Park. After his death, the Metropolitan Board of Works took the unusual step of agreeing to this memorial for a working-class man. The fountain is made of polished grey granite at an original cost of £120, which was paid for by public subscription.
The text at the bottom reads 'A rare specimen of a rare class - Dr Burns'
