Dumfries town centre fountain craned on to restored base

Dumfries town centre’s 140-year-old landmark – officially called The Sun Foundry Fountain – was craned into place on its restored base on Tuesday.

The cast iron structure was removed in December so that excavation works to create a tank for a new water treatment and pumping system could begin.

The combined cascade and spray fountain, with more than 100 cast iron parts, headed south to be restored by experts, Wigan-based Lost Art Ltd, and, after months of work, has now been brought back.
