(1) It’s been turned! I don’t know when that picture was taken, but you can see the fountain is in exactly the same place, but turned 90%
(2) According to what I could find, the fountain was installed in 1841. That lower bit on the right is actually a horse trough so that the horses could drink. If you think about it, the original position makes more sense, since the horses are likely to have easier access to the trough then they do today. But of course, today there are hardly any horses!
(3) It really, really causes me intense mental anguish to think about the plumbing. I would really, really like to understand how the water feed from below the street is attached to the fountain.
