This photo I in took early hours of the morning be for the town woke up.Leicester Town Council accepted on 29 October 1878, "a handsome ornamental fountain to be placed in the centre of the land fronting the Town Hall Buildings" which was a gift to the Borough from Israel Hart, a former Mayor of Leicester.[3] It is constructed of bronze-painted cast iron, Shap granite and Ross of Mull granite. Francis Hames, the architect of the town hall, also designed the layout of Town Hall Square and the fountain, which was unveiled by Sir Israel Hart on 24 September 1879. There is an identical fountain at Porto in Portugal.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

The economy must be really bad, I see the Town Council has cut back on the number of pigeons allowed in the square. :) If they are giving away any more of these fountains I wouldn't mind having one for the back garden.

A good capture of the fountain Roger. Wonderful colours and nice lighting of the scene.
