Description
937/0/10069 TANNERS LANE 05-MAY-10 BARKINGSIDE Fountain on the Green at Barnardo's
GV II Fountain, late C19, restored 2005.
A three-tier bronze fountain with a central shaft from which water projects, flowing into three shallow, circular bowls of increasing widths. The fountain is in the centre of a large, shallow, circular stone pool at ground level, surrounded by plant beds.
The fountain is shown in historic photographs of the site and marked on historic Ordnance Survey maps. The three village greens at the Barnardo's Girls Village Home originally had fountains, benches, a rose bower and other garden structures. Only this green now survives, with this single fountain.
REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: The three-tiered fountain is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * historic interest: all that remains, along with several specimen trees, of the many features in the Victorian landscaped gardens at the Barnardo's Girls' Village Homes; * group value: contributes to the setting of this significant Victorian cottage home settlement, especially Cairns Cottage (qv).
