The fountain was installed in the middle of the Parkway boulevard at its junction with Howardsgate in 1953 to celebrate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. (From a Geograph point of view the 213000 Northing grid line almost exactly bisects the fountain so here's one view looking south in this grid square and here's another Image in Image looking north.)
