Faded elegance from the past

One of the one time fountains in the Avenues, dry for nearly a hundred years but protected as a listing building, it is also a roundabout
As part of the original layout of the development Westbourne, Marlborough and Victoria Avenue had cast iron decorative fountains in the centre of the roads, with two more on Princes Avenue. All were of similar circular tiered design. The fountains on Princes Avenue were removed in 1926 due to increased traffic.[25] The remaining fountains on Westbourne and Park Avenue are now listed structures
