The Aitken Memorial Fountain

A beautiful little testament of historic aesthetical tastes and preferences.

Great memories as a kid and now it's been restored looks amazing

I think it's great that people take the time to review such things in Google maps, this is actually a Victorian fountain in memory of a local doctor and dignitary. Govan before the industrialisation, which although enriching all the areas of the Clyde mainly through shipbuilding, was actually quite historic and perfectly Idyllic ( also view their church ). In essence Govan is viewed mainly for its shipbuilding but its past beyond this is also interesting.

Beautiful piece of local history.

Super miejsce

Beautiful cast iron fountain from 1884. Restored in 2010 and 2014. Created by Cruikshanks & Co to celebrate the life works of Dr John Aitken who served the local community to his own detriment. A true people’s champion
