Got the wrong Park first time .New I had seen it.
Dane Park at Margate. Lot of info here from Bob Speel's site.
In Dane Park, the most central of Margate’s parks, is a grand fountain, typical seaside town architecture, a cast iron structure from the 1890s. It was put up, says the little sign next to it, in memory of John Woodward, who gave the land for the park to Margate and further land to pay for its upkeep. The fountain has at the top our third Margate statue, a standing girl in long Classical robes, holding up a lilly in one hand, from which water presumably once gushed. Her other arm, modestly across her upper body, appears to be holding up one edge of her gown which has slipped off the raised shoulder. She wears upon her head a wreath of olives. Below, a small shelly bowl, then a column to the larger bowl beneath, with around the central shaft four herons, little wings raised, beaks against their breasts, standing among low reeds and waterlilies. The lower bowl, which has a a decorated edge of leaves, perhaps oak, and corrugated, is on a broader shaft which widens to a drum around which are great fish of classical design, with big eyes, dolphin-like faces, spiky fins and upward coiled tails ending in trefoil tailfins (if you like fish sculpture, [); between these on the central shaft are low relief scenes of fishing cherubs, and beneath, small protruding lion heads. At one time, the water would have splashed down from upper figure via the two bowls to a wide stone basin, but this was filled in during the 1980s to form a flowerbed. A fine piece of late Victorian ironwork.
