Cheletenham

Today was spent in and around Cheletenham. We walked up through Montpellier Walk, passing the flat we rented when first married. In those days Montpellier was in need of some attention, these days it is busy with a vibrant atmosphere.

We visited my aunt who has recently moved near here, and following a chat chat chat we all thought lunch out in Montpellier was in order, it was lovely to see her and catch up.

Neptune's Fountain was made from Portland stone in 1893 by a local sculptor R. L. Boulton and depicts Neptune being drawn by sea horses. The fountain utilises the waters from the river Chelt which runs beneath it. Designed by Borough engineer Joseph Hall who was influenced by the Trevi Fountain in Rome, the fountain was officially unveiled by the Mayoress of Cheltenham on 3rd October 1893.
