The Neptune fountain in front of the municipal offices, The Promenade, Chettenham, Gloucestershire, UK

---

At the southern end of the Long Garden is the Neptune's Fountain which was made from Portland stone in 1893 by a local sculptor R. L. Boulton and depicts Neptune being drawn by sea horses. The fountain utilises the waters from the river Chelt which runs beneath it. Designed by Borough engineer Joseph Hall who was influenced by the Trevi Fountain in Rome, the fountain was officially unveiled by the Mayoress of Cheltenham on 3rd October 1893. During the summer the fountain is beautifully lit at night creating thus a grand backdrop for evening shopping in the Promenade.
