    How welcome the water must have been at one time. I really like that animal-headed spout.

    Wonderful looking old fountain. Is the spout a fish? Looks like the top is decorated with fish as well.
    Cheers.

    What kind of animal provided the water...looks light it might have been a bear...

    1894! Sheesh. No wonder it's defunct! That's older than I am!

    There are so many like this lovingly preserved across UK. Where in Bandra is this? The British and the imprints they leave behind. So much of what I see in London, reminds me of those wonderful buildings in South Mumbai which have been let to go to seed..
