The Burdett-Coutts Drinking Fountain (1862), Victoria Park, London

This fountain (no longer in operation) was donated to the park by Angela Burdett-Coutts, of the Coutts banking family. She spent vast sums on efforts to improve the lives of the East End's poor, including setting up the original Columbia Market, which sold fish, fruit and veg.
