Does anyone have information about the stone-face water fountain on Poulton Hall Road?

In 1945 the first of the Phoenix Bungalows (Pre-Fabs) appeared, designed by Yorkshireman Mr Jack W Gibson, Civil Engineer, who also helped build the Mulberry Port, (D-Day)

They were designated for bombed out families and returning ex servicemen, they cost £700 each and the first were placed on the land heavily bombed between Park Station and Price Street. The site was expected to hold 60 to 80 bungalows and Birkenhead expected to have about 300 in total.

On Tuesday evening the 13th of May, my family and I were driving past Brackenwood Lane and there were 6/7 Police cars and a Police van; I wonder what was going on there!
