Hanbury fountain now in full working order

Following the successful restoration of the Hanbury Fountain on 10 March this year, the original historic taps were removed for a full replication and redesign. This has taken longer than anticipated as specialist parts need to be made. However, due to the warm summer weather, and to ensure the fountain can be used as soon as possible, we have now installed new temporary taps – the same as at the Toynbee Fountain – and the fountain is now back in working order and able to be used.

The historic bronze spouts will be integrated into the new permanent design. The new internal design is currently undergoing testing and manufacture of bespoke parts and will only be installed once thoroughly tested. It is envisaged the new final design will be installed in the next two to three months.
