Jaffe Memorial Fountain

Belfast


At the Victoria St entrance to the Victoria Square shopping mall is the yellow and white Jaffe Memorial Fountain. The gilded, cast iron structure and drinking fountain (now dry) was erected in 1874 by Belfast's only Jewish mayor, Otto Jaffe, in memory of his father Daniel, who had emigrated to Belfast from Germany in 1850 to work in the linen industry.
