Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Fountain in Princess Gardens, Torquay. This Victorian fountain is in gardens by Torquay Harbour, near Princess Pier. Thanks to Colin Vosper https://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/19916, here is extra information: The special characteristic of this attractive fountain is that the mouldings were used to cast another fountain which is outside Raffles Hotel in Singapore. There are slight differences to the bolted-on sections in that the bowl on the Singapore version has no supporting brackets and the top feature is different. The Torquay top feature is more delicate and attractive than its Raffles Hotel counterpart and the overall effect of the Torquay fountain playing is delightful. HOWEVER, the physical condition of the Torquay fountain shows that it is far less well maintained by the local council than the fountain in Singapore.
