    Adam's fountain is a public display fountain in Charring cross, Ooty. It was built in 1886 as a memorial to a Governor of Ooty,who was very famous in the region during his tenure.The total cost of finishing the fountain was between Rs. 13,000 to Rs. 14000, which was funded through public funding. The fountain was originally planned to be placed near the Ooty market. But it was decided later that the site in front of the District collector's office in Ooty was a better place as it had higher number of passers by. After building the fountain, it was discovered that the site did not have the necessary water head for the fountain to function properly. It was finally moved to its present location in Charring cross in 1898. An old melanoxylon tree which stood in the site of the present location of the fountain, which was considered as a landmark in Charring cross was removed for the construction of the fountain.

    Landmark junction at the city centre. This fountain is said to have come from London. Beautiful to see in the night. There are so many eating places around it.

    Ooty, what to say good about the town? Except to say thank god it exists as it keeps the marauding hoards away from the beautiful Nilgiris. The administration for the past five decades have been clueless in what to do except look the other way and make stupid decisions. Adams fountain is at Charing Cross, look at old photos and you'll see gardens and space, look now and you'll see disorder and filth.

    In the evening it was lit up and looked charming. It seems to be the center of Ooty where many roads meet. The area is full of shops. It is a busy place where one can spend some time shopping and eating.
