Statement of Interest

According to Baird, a storm in 1877 greatly damaged the promenade and "the only part ...saved was between Bath Street and Melville Street, upon which stands an ornate stone fountain presented by Mr Paterson, formerly Town Clerk from 1836 to 1874. Even this was considerably damaged." (p 413).
