Vahland Drinking Fountain Restoration<br />
Designed and constructed by William Charles Vahland in<br />
1881 for the purpose of servicing the needs of the horse<br />
drawn vehicles. It was located at the prominent street<br />
junction of Bridge Street and Pall Mall, a focal point for horse<br />
drawn transportation and a meeting place for civic and<br />
cultural activities.<br />
The Drinking Fountain was removed in the early part of the<br />
20th Century and a new monument – the Discovery of Gold<br />
Jubilee was erected in 1906. In recognition of the outstanding<br />
contribution that Vahland has made to <strong>Bendigo</strong> the Drinking<br />
Fountain will now be restored and reinstated at the end<br />
of Bull Street, between the Law Courts and Conservatory<br />
Gardens.<br />
The Vahland Drinking Fountain will be unveiled 21 July, <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
