After an absence of just over 20 years, an historical landmark of Tenby has been returned to the centre of the town.

The Dyster Memorial Fountain has found a new spot in Tudor Square, bringing a completion to Pembrokeshire County Council's enhancement works in the centre of the town.

Tenby Town Council commissioned restoration specialists Abbey Masonry, of Cross Hands, to take on the project and with a little help from a few old photographs the company was able to put the fountain back together, complete with a water facility.

Pembrokeshire County Council's special projects manager, Rhodri Jenkins, who has overseen the enhancement works in the square, said that different varieties of sandstone were used to restore the Dyster, while a new light fitting was added to replicate the original.

A plaque also features on the fountain to commemorate the fact that Dr. Frederick Daniel Dyster, who served on the town council from 1866 to 1872 and was Mayor of Tenby in 1867/8, erected the original drinking fountain in Tudor Square as a memorial to Lt. Col. Thomas Wedgwood, of St Mary's Hill, Tenby, a Waterloo veteran who passed away in 1860.

Deputy Mayor, Clr. Mrs. Caroline Thomas, said: "I'm delighted to see the Dyster Memorial back after a long project to get it restored and bring a completion to the town centre's enhancement scheme."
