What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron fountain, erected c. 1841, comprising masonry plinth on square-plan granite-clad base, with two-tier circular-plan cast-iron troughs supported on columns topped by central finial with replacement stainless steel spout. Located to centre of flower bed, bordered by rendered circular-plan dwarf wall with granite coping. Terracotta tiled hardstandings to perimeter, extending along path to west. Sited within centre of triangular-plan park, bordered by Wilton Place to north-east and north-west, and Wilton Terrace and Grand Canal to south-east. Park lined by mature planting, with gravel perimeter path and bound by cast-iron railings over granite plinth.

Manufactured by J & R Mallet, as the central feature of a small park. The park was intended to be part of a larger scheme, devised c. 1830 by Arthur Neville, for a broad crescent framing a semi-circular park overlooking the canal. Delayed and then revised due to failed negotiations over land acquisition, six townhouses, Nos. 1-6 Wilton Place (50930186-91), were finally built in 1841, at which time the park was also laid out. The water for the fountain was originally supplied from the nearby canal.
