taken 17 years ago, near to Newbrough, Northumberland, England
Erected by the Pelican Band of Mercy
... 5 January 1889. Inscription on the stone behind the NY8767 : 19th C cast iron water hydrant.
I am very grateful to Dave Clark for the following info:
The beginnings of The Band of Mercy are documented in "History in Portsmouth" in an article entitled 'REV. THOMAS TIMMINS (1841–1898) - FOUNDER OF THE BAND OF MERCY' Link
(Archive Link ) .
Dave is not sure about the "Pelican" annotation.
Apparently the Band of Mercy was the forerunner of Animal Liberation Front (ALF). A part of their history that the RSPCA will not be proud is at Link (Archive Link ) .
