Fountain In Old Cross

Yes, apparently there is one according to the Murky. See page 21 of this week's edition. Sadly there's no photo to accompany the story [;)]

Perhaps it is a typographic error.........should it have been a 'mountain'?

Is it anywhere around the old library area??? I just ask as there's lots of hidden nooks and crannies around that particular building?

I would say they're referring to the remains of St.Mary The Less. It used to be a drinking fountain, but hasn't been one practically for many decades. I doubt anyone today would realise this. To refer to it as fountain - something most people would recognise as an ornamental water feature - is questionable IMHO.
