Does anyone know anything about the short lived Twerton Fountain which was placed in the high street back in the early 1900s?

Apparently, Bath City Council commissioned a fountain for Twerton and installed it only to take it away soon afterwards to do road works. People of the village expected the fountain to reappear, but it never did. Rumour has it that it was spotted in a dump somewhere. I think it may have been when Twerton was incorporated into Bath, but can not be sure.

I know about it from a book that was in the Bath Library. It was like a scrapbook of articles about Bath and was very entertaining.
