Sydney Hospital, Robert Brough Memorial Fountain
The ornate Robert Brough Memorial Fountain is located near the Nightingale Wing of Sydney Hospital. This three tiered cast iron fountain from the Colebrookdale (UK) factory features a group of brolgas surmounted by black swans. It is dedicated to Robert Brough (1857 - 1906) an actor born in England and made his debut there as a comedian in 1870. He and his actress wife, Florence Trevelyn, travelled to Australia in 1885, where their combined talents in musical comedy endeared them to audiences.
