Chamberlain Memorial, Gothic memorial fountain in Chamberlain Square, Birmingham, England
The Portland stone fountain rises 20 meters high and features gilded mosaics, copper details, and a medallion portrait on its south side.
Built in 1880 through public donations of £3,000, the fountain commemorates Joseph Chamberlain, who served as mayor and improved Birmingham's public utilities.
The structure combines neo-Gothic architectural elements with decorative work by Samuel Barfield and Venetian mosaics by Salviati Burke and Company.
Birmingham City Council maintains this Grade II listed monument, which includes restored water pools added in 1978 at its base.
The memorial underwent significant restoration in 1994, including cleaning of the Portland stone spire to preserve its structural and aesthetic elements.
