St Heliers Memorial Fountain
St Heliers Memorial Fountain is a drinking fountain and war memorial located in St Heliers. It honours local St Heliers scoutmaster Guyon Brookfield who died in World War I in 1916. The memorial Fountain was unveiled in 1917, six months after Brookfield's death. It was unveiled in St Heliers Bay along Tāmaki Drive, facing east/west, before being later turned to its current position of north–south facing St Heliers Bay. The memorial was originally a water fountain, not a drinking fountain, which was a later addition. Chief Scoutmaster Reverend Stanton spoke at the unveiling, encouraging young people to emulate Brookfield's values. The memorial has appeared in lists of Auckland War Memorials, including on The New Zealand Herald.
