The Rutherford Memorial fountain was erected around 1892 at St Nicholas Sq. It was moved to the position shown in the photo to accommodate the statue of Queen Victoria who had recently died.
In 1996 it was refurbished by Northumbrian Water and moved higher up the Bigg Market although no longer a functional fountain it has Grade II status.
