Park antique

I love how some of the original features have been kept in my local park. This drinking fountain is tucked away in a now overgrown area but I remember drinking from it as a kid. I pressed the button (as you do) but sadly no water now but I liked the way it's aged and strangely, no debris or rubbish in the bowl.

Oh my! I remember using that too. It was put in the open back in the day but overgrown now. Great find - I really must revisit the park sometime soon.

What an interesting find. I remember water fountains in local parks. This one looks pretty old.

A nice looking old water fountain. someone passing by must've cleaned the debris away.

It is nice that it was left there. Those relics from the past can evoke pleasant memories.

In Lydney flowers were planted in the bowl which looked effective

A super find! - I read recently that there is a move to restore old drinking fountains to discourage people from buying bottled water.
