Imposing and decorative fountain. Could do with a little clean up but is well framed in it’s surroundings and if you look at the detailing it’s quite a work of art. Not dissimilar to the best works seem abroad in places like Rome. Well worth a visit.

The Doulton Fountain is a large fountain that sits just outside the a the People’s Palace in Glasgow Green. The fountain is reputedly the largest terracotta fountain in the world and was produced by Doulton & Co for the Glasgow Exhibition of 1888. The general theme of the fountain is glory of the British Empire. Queen Victoria stands atop the centre of the fountain to symbolise her reigns over empire. Immediately below her is water carrying maids empty water onto the lower tiers. Below them is a sailor and one soldier from each of Scotland, England and Wales, the source of her glory. On the lowest tier are four groups of figures, to represent the four a major colonies of the empire. Being South Africa, Australia, Canada and India.

World's largest terracotta fountain. Incredible detail depicting four regions of the old empire.

Magnificent highly decorative five-tier fountain, it was designed to commemorate the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 1887 and a gift by Sir Henry Doulton to Glasgow. This majestic-looking fountain stands at Glasgow Green in front of the equally ornate People's Palace which houses the city's social history collection. This iconic Beauty is a MUST see if your in Glasgow

Beautiful fountain with lots of history. Looks fantastic while the water is running. Could do with a little clean but it is well worth the time visiting it.

Five-tier fountain, built to commemorate the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 1887 as a gift by Sir Doulton to Glasgow. Quite ornate. Restored. Great condition.

The Royal Doulton Fountain in Glasgow Next to Peoples Palace is one stunning Victorian architecture. It shows the different Locations of British Empire, it's well worth visit just to see the sculptures. Added bonus its near People's Palace and also tea room for you to enjoy break.

Nice relaxing area found in transit to another place. There seems to be a museum there but it was already closed by the time we got there so the park is quiet then. Can't tell if during the day it'll be the buzz in the area.

Glasgows history and art at its best, Could be any where in the world but very Romantic, be nice if it was light at night.

Largest terracotta fountain in the world

It's a quiet place where you can take a seat and see a castle building just in from of you, really nice place.

Loved this place. the green was closed off for a viewing area for the football but that didn't stop us enjoying the area. The fountain was off but it was still beautiful to see. Really nice area in the hustle and bustle of Glasgow. Peaceful beautiful and friendly locals

Glorious after being restored to it's original beauty

Park is pretty good

Was happy to see the fountain was on and it is very beautiful disappointed that people's palace was only open certain days of the week hopefully it will be able to open ever day

I love this place If only it was still opened

Excellent view

Very nice place

Beautiful

I love that wonderful place

Interesting History. Celebration of the British Empire. Judge that as you may

The Dalton Fountain does look good? But the subject matter of it isn't so good. The dark side of our history?The empire 😏

This is a fabulous example of a rare terracotta fountain. It had been restored to full working order and it looks simply stunning

Beautiful fountain, gorgeous architecture, intricate designs and lovely statue of Queen Victoria on the top. Stunning.

Very impressive old fountain depicting the days of the British empire. Nice to see while visiting People's Palace

Beautiful fountain set in well tended park in the heart of the city centre.

Lovely walk round the area and it's clean well maintained

Beautiful historical museum and beautiful park area.

Mt father and I saw this fabulous fountain in Glasgow, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, UK 🇬🇧 while going on a day tour in September 2012. We are the visitors from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪

Impressive terracotta fountain with Queen Victoria on top an the four colonies Australia, India, Canada and South Africa pictured underneath.

I was quite shocked by the beauty of the fountain, which no plaque or text put into context. "Look at us westerners as we are civilised and make great art." All in praise of the British colonial empire, ignoring the fate of its countless victims.

It’s an amazing fountain by the artists John Broad, Herbert Ellis, Pearce himself, Frederick Pomeroy, and William Silver Frith, and the design of the fountain was completed by Arthur Edward. This highly decorative, with water falling from the side, five-tier fountain in French Renaissance style was designed to commemorate the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 1887.

This fountain is hardly ever running so it was extra special to see it with water on. Excellent disabled wheel chair user access. This is a must visit. Video attached to this review

This has always been such a lovely part of the East end. I haven't been to see it in a year and it's just heart breaking to see that Glasgow City Council have left it to rot, covered in algae/mould. Such a shame for auch a beautiful and old piece of history

My wife and just love going down to the people's palace on a nice sunny day to have a scone with clotted cream and strawberry jam, The fountain is a highlight each time we visit the Glasgow green, I took my grandchildren when they were very young and they loved seeing all the exhibits in the palace, This was how we taught them about the history of Glasgow. Take a trip soon and find out for yourselves. John and Margaret burns.

Wow

Get the grass cut

A glasgow icon, been visiting this fountain since 1958. Moved from its original position at Glasgow Green entrance arch to its current position outside the people's palace. It is a Victorian jewel. Best seen when the fountain is actually flowing. I am uncertain as to its current state of repair. There's little to cheer us in Glasgow these days. The fountain in full spate on the Green would help.

Very lovely piece of agriculture, interesting to look round

Beautiful

A fountain should have water

Tranquil and peaceful

Just in front of the People's Palace. This fountain is a beautiful landmark in Glasgow.

Love it

Magnificent historical piece

How was the Doulton Fountain asks Google Maps? Well, there's water coming out, it's in good working order and just as grey and wet as much of Glasgow :-)

I love this place. Beautiful nature and history: all in one

A beautiful terracotta fountain

Right next to.. peoples palace Free indoor activity. Disabled access and baby change that accommodates my 2 kids and the double buggy. Cafe and area for picnic all indoors. Shop and fun exhibition x

Beautiful fountain, large and benches all around.

Nice spot in Glasgow green for cycling and also for photoshoot

Gteat monument that adds a little bit from the british common wealth and historically queen Victoria's empire. Also close to the peoples palace the barrowlands and situated at glasgow green with a view of the Templeton building based on a palace in venice

Beautiful fountain

Quite an impressive fountain, especially when they turn it on. It has some good history to it, and is worth seeing, it's nice in the summer to take a seat and eat your lunch. But you don't go to the green just to see the fountain. It's part of a great number of things to see and experience in the green and it helps make a nice day out.

Fantastic peace of history ruke Britannia

A must visit in Glasgow. The fountain is stunning.

(Translated by Google) A very nice cemetery to visit. (Original) Un cementerio muy bonito de visitar.

Nice place for relax
