What is recorded here
Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, located in London's Trafalgar Square, was erected in 1901 to commemorate the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury, a prominent Victorian philanthropist and social reformer known for his work in improving working conditions and child welfare. The fountain is important as a lasting tribute to his humanitarian legacy and as a notable example of late 19th-century public art in the capital.
