Peacock Fountain

Rolleston Avenue

About

This fantastic, ornate Edwardian cast iron fountain brings grace and baroque elegance to the lawns outside the Canterbury Museum. Restored to the Botanic Gardens in 1996, before then, the fountain had languished in storage in a shed at the Ferrymead Historical Park, after being dismantled in 1932 to make way for the new art gallery. The fountain is a particularly fine example of its kind, cast in the Coalbrookdale foundry. It is three-tiered, adorned with dolphins, herons and lilies, and brilliantly painted in green and gold.
