Description
The Doulton Fountain 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 Victorias Golden Jubilee of 1887, and celebrate Britains Imperial achievements - the fountain is crowded with figurative groups representing Australia, Canada, India and South Africa. 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. Following a £4 million refurbishment and relocation programme the fountain has been restored to its former glory and now sits at the front of The Peoples Palace.
