Fleetwood Drinking Fountain, Cannon and Railway Hotel

There is a Drinking Fountain in Fleetwood. It is dedicated to James Abram and George Greenall. There is also an Obelisk dedicated to their memory too here.
It is just outside the Euston Gardens by the North Euston Hotel. Just inside the Gardens is a cannon. I don't know anything about the Cannon but here is a picture! The North Euston Hotel is also included in these pictures. The gardens are called the Euston Park Gardens.
