There are 2 Wallace fountains in Lisburn, Co. Antrim. This one in Wallace Park. Made of cast iron they originate in Paris when Sir Richard Wallace gifted them to the city. Today there are examples all over Europe although especially in Paris itself, as well as far afield as Quebec, Canada. This type is ornate with 4 ladies representing kindness, simplicity, charity and sobriety. It no longer functions but apparently many in Paris still do, providing clean water for the homeless. Long lasting philanthropy.

This evening I took this nearby as the sun was disappearing.
