TheRSPCA Fountain is a monument onRichmond Hill inLondon dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals. It was designed byThomas Edward Collcutt and completed in 1901.[1]
The monument isGrade II listed,[2] being designed in 1891 as a memorial to the work of a local branch of theRSPCA. Originally it served as a drinking fountain for local working animals as well as having a trough for dogs to drink. Due to this function it was originally known as "cattle fountain" as reflected in its designation.[3] In 2020, elements of the fountain were removed and in 2024, the monument sustained damage after it was crashed into by a car.[4]
