He was well known for his drinking fountains,[2] which he created to make drinking water available to the public. Most of these drinking fountains are to be found in Liverpool, but some can be found as far afield as Southampton.[1] Some early fountains, particularly around the docks, were in cast iron. The later, and best known, were in Aberdeen pink granite, to a standard design. Personal lifeIn 1854, Melly married his cousin, Louise Forget, (1825–1899) in Geneva. They made their home at Riversley, his parents' house in Mossley Hill, Liverpool, and had seven sons and a daughter. {{clear left}}See also
