There is a temperance fountain located in the grounds of
whightwick Manor in Wolverhampton, dedicated to the memory
of Charles Benjamin Mander; a main protagenist in the
Wolverhampton Temperance Society. I have found references to
other fountains that were supposed to have been sited in
Wolverhampton, but I have been unable to pinpoint their
exact locations.
