This fountain stands at the South end of Cheltenham’s magnificent Municipal Offices. It was carved out of Portland stone in 1892-2 by Boulton & Sons, a local company, who also made the Boer War Memorial that stands at the north end of the Offices. Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, is shown with sea horses and tritons, and the designer, Joseph Hall, also the borough surveyor, was probably inspired by the Trevi Fountain in Rome. The fountain was renovated in 1989.
