Show on mapThis cast iron fountain dates from the opening of the park in 1893
I read on the English Heritage website that the fountain was made by Carrons of Glasgow , but i’m not convinced.
It looks to be an exact match to the Model 51 from Walter Macfarlanes, Saracen Foundary catalogue who also made the bandstand.
Which catalogue did you check it using?
I would like to know how to research Macfarlane’s castings.
I’m afraid I don’t remember the exact version of the catalogue, in the past they all used to be free on Google Books, but not any longer.
This is probably worth a look though, it doesnt contain the fountains but has a lot of info about the Foundary

Actually i’ve just re-located it on Page 21 of this catalogue.

Thank you for an early answer and answering a past article!
I look for it using these catalogues.
