St Nicholas Market Iron Fountain
I had a day trip to Bristol today, after getting a very cheap fare during the January rail sale.
I know Bristol quite well, but haven't visited properly since before Covid. I did a walk aroiund the Old City, using a leaflet - otherwise I'd probably have missed this gem:
"The fountain set into the exterior wall of Market House on St. Nicholas Street, Bristol, was installed to celebrate Queen Victoria’s 40th birthday in 1859. It was donated by Mr. Budgett, a wealthy Bristol grocery merchant.
The fountain was cast by Coalbrookdale Company of Shropshire (casting #106) from a design by William and Thomas Wills of Suffolk. The brothers were noted sculptors in the mid 19th century and best known for their designs of drinking fountains."
Extra is a not very successful attempt to photo the locks on Pero's Bridge.
