New drinking-fountain at Bowness, Windermere, 1862. Creator: Unknown
New drinking-fountain at Bowness, Windermere, 1862. We present our readers with an Engraving of a peculiar drinking-fountain presented to the visitors and inhabitants of Bowness, Windermere, by Joseph Livesey, Esq. of Preston, who presented eight drinking-fountains to the town of Preston. It is situated in the much-frequented and beautiful promenade in front of Windermere Lake, and forms, in addition to its utility as a drinking-fountain, an ornament of no inconsiderable attraction. This is, we believe, the first fountain with any mechanical arrangement for raising the water from a low level, which is accomplished by means of a rotary pump, worked by the handle and small ornamental flywheel seen on the right-hand side. This arrangement, we imagine, might be carried out in many places where a drinking-fountain would be acceptable, but thought impracticable for want of a force or fall of water. The general design and arrangement are by James Livesey, Esq. engineer, of London and Manchester'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
