Doulton Fountain, Glasgow Green.

Bit of a statue theme going on here. The Doulton Fountain is the largest terracotta fountain in the world and the best surviving example of its kind. It has five tiers, is 46 feet high and 70 feet across the base. The fountain was restored and reopened in 2005.

It was gifted to the city by Sir Henry Doulton and first unveiled at the Empire Exhibition held at Kelvingrove Park in 1888. The fountain was then moved to Glasgow Green in 1890.

A sculptural extravaganza, the fountain was designed to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee of 1887 - that is her statue at the top looking towards the camera. It celebrates Britain's Imperial achievements - the fountain is crowded with figurative groups representing Australia, Canada, India and South Africa.
