This cast-iron Victorian-style fountain most likely originates from the Saracen Foundry in Glasgow, Scotland, which was world-renowned for its ornate public fountains. This type of fountain was often erected by temperance movements in Great Britain in the second half of the 19th century. Similar models can be found in various locations, for example in Bristol or Hexham. The construction consists of ornate cast-iron columns supporting a roof over a central basin.
