A pivotal moment in the last restoration of Brighton’s Victoria Fountain has been unearthed, months before the next one begins.

Photographer Jack Straw posted this picture he took in 1990 of the top of the fountain being taken off for levelling.

The fountain’s restoration was completed in 1994, and the following year Prince Charles visited to commemorate it.

The fountain is now set to be dismantled again this winter for remedial repairs and refurbishment.

    Look how fantastic the flower beds look, a vast difference to the current fence and wasteland.

      That was before the incapable and incompetent Marxist Green Party came to power…

    There’s no credible evidence that’s part of a fountain restoration. This sort of photo is easily faked. Almost definitely a UFO.
