A close-up view of the Dodshon Memorial, Stockton High Street with the Town Hall in the background early 1880s.
A clear view of Victorian cobble-stones included in a photograph of the High Street featuring the Dodshon Memorial and Stockton Town Hall.
Erected as a memorial to a fervent Temperance advocate, in order to suppple an alternative to the meany public houses in Stockton High Street. The fishmongers used it to keep their wares cool and clean, and the memorial was moved to Ropner park when it was opened in 1893. It was moved to the other end of the High Street after pedestrianisation in the 1990s.
