I am part of the Torquay library local history group and we are just finishing a pamphlet on some local drinking fountains & troughs-primarily looking at the stories behind the names inscribed on them.
We have one mystery though, a drinking fountain at the meeting of Meadfoot Lane & Road. It is pretty dilapidated, but this is all it says ' DD WHT 1859'. Not sure if DD is Doctor of Divinity, though that usually is after a name. Who does it relate to ? Can anyone shine a light please.
Thanks for your collective thoughts
