The Dolphin Fountain, Brighton Square

Sculpted by James Osborne and unveiled in 1992. The fountain was designed to receive thrown coins with the plaque on the right hand side informing those that do that all monies will go towards the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital, not sure if this is still the case. Brighton Square itself was built in the 1960s and was one of the few major building works of that period that was designed to fit it into the surroundings rather than impose a concrete megalith upon it.
