Designed by Richard Huws & completed in 1966. It was good to see it going again in time for Capital of Culture Year after so many years of inactivity. It's hard to imagine that this work that most would regard as "modern" architecture is now heading for its own half-century. Just a shame that its "back street" location means that many visitors miss it and even many local people do not know of it.Quote:

Was it used in the opening scenes of the Liver Birds TV show?
Always liked the bucket fountain.
Yes... it was neat to just sit and watch it work... always different sequences.Quote:
