Hi, not sure if anyone is still connected to this site but I’m trying to figure out which old cast iron fountain is in a photo with my dad. Could i possibly contact you to see if you know it? Many thanks

Whilst searching the history of the Cast Iron ‘Victoria Fountain’ (Brighton) we are currently repairing/remanufacturing I came across your site. You may be interseted to learn of the service available for the repair/remanufacture of Cast Iron structures, bridges, street furniture, fountains etc.

Not sure which fountain you are referencing as I don’t believe I have blogged a fountain in Brighton. There is one in Cleethorpes which was relocated within the town to Brighton Street. Is this the one you are referring to? I’d be interested in seeing a photo of the restoration and will update my blog with it.

We have a restored Glenfield and Kennedy street fountain in our village — Garnouth in Moray, NE Scotoand. It is plumbed in and working. It dates from 1899 when a piped water supply first came to the village. We have a second identical one, also restored but not yet plumbed in. We have a book on the history of the village water supply and the street fountains that were installed. There are also other examples of G&K fountains nearby.
