We’ve got a new tourist attraction in Evesham ………
….. to wit the Bengeworth Fountain ……
We’ve passed it millions of times before, as it’s on the way to Tom the Scientist and The Lovely Laura’s house, but now with it’s shiny new information board it would have been rude not to check it out properly.
The corner it’s on doesn’t seem to have changed much over the years …….
……. but according to Darrell it can’t but help look just a touch more romantic in the black and white days, with a horse and carriage centre stage.
It’s a pity that the fountain is no longer fountaining to give succour to any weary traveller that passes by ……
……. but that could be down to the old fashioned plumbing and after Covid all manner of communal quaffing of a Health and Safety issues type nature.
Darrell even found “us” on the modern day representation of Evesham without the buildings, Darrell said that being “a tourist” again filled him with all the memories of when we ourselves were strangers to the town …… and now look at us, proper fully fledged inhabitants!

Great. Plus, you are "on the map" too.
Hopefully, in the future, the fountain will be working, so you can have a drink, after some heavy-duty shopping in Lidl.
It's great to see new signage and things being kept up to date so to speak. So many places these days are being left to decay and rot with all the cutbacks. It's very sad. JantheFan x
Just decided to look it up - very interesting indeed.
