The water feature in the foreground is 'The River', though locally known as the 'Floozie in the Jacuzzi'. A water leak from the fountain occurred in November 2008 and as a result it was only switched on for special occasions. A further leak occurred in 2013 and after that the main pool was filled with soil and bedding plants and no longer functions as a fountain.[Wikipedia]. In the background is the neoclassical Town Hall which opened in 1834 and was designed by architects Joseph Hansom and Edward Welch.
