Welcome
The Victoria Fountain is located in Hull’s Avenues area at the junction of Victoria Avenue and Salisbury Street. The original fountain was removed and lost in the 1920’s or 1930’s. The fountain has been now recreated in its original style and was opened on 8th July 2023.
Funded almost entirely by donations from the local community and community groups, the fountain is testimony to the power of a cohesive community that cares for its environment.
This website is updated regularly and you can see more information on our Facebook page.
In the meantime, come along and enjoy the fountain.
We present … A Mighty Splash!
Now available to purchase, our souvenir booklet which tells the story of the fountain.
With 40 pages, our full colour booklet makes an excellent souvenir and gift.
Telling the story of the fountain from it’s original installation in 1874, its removal in the 1920’s, through to the moment when the idea of bringing a fountain back was conceived. Then on to the journey of fundraising, design, manufacture and installation, before finally the moment when the new fountain sprang into life and created a mighty splash.
It’s a story of a community project like no other. Of how determined people, supported by the whole community made something beautiful happen.

The fountain is flowing
The fountain is happily flowing and it now come on a little earlier in the morning so that residents can enjoy it on their way to work.
