More about this scene
In 1888, when the site for the new library at Old Cross was being dug, a jumble of stones from the 13th-century St Mary the Less were uncovered. These were reassembled, rather randomly, in the form of a drinking fountain. The library, which was also home to the Art School, was opened by A J Balfour, who later became Prime Minister.
