Souvenir booklet … A Mighty Splash!
Now available to purchase, our very own 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.
