Steble Fountain, Victorian fountain in William Brown Street, Liverpool, England
The Steble Fountain features a circular stone basin measuring 30 feet in diameter, crowned by a central octagonal tower rising 23 feet high.
Lieutenant Colonel Richard Fell Steble, former Mayor of Liverpool from 1845 to 1847, donated £1000 in 1877 to construct the fountain on undeveloped land.
The fountain incorporates statues of four marine deities - Neptune, Amphitrite, Acis, and Galatea - representing Liverpool's maritime connections and heritage.
The fountain operates through an electric pump system located in St George's Hall basement, replacing the original steam pump that caused disruptions.
The casting design originated from the Paris Exposition of 1867 and has been replicated with variations in multiple locations worldwide.
