Thought I was going to have to miss out on Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week as I couldn’t find anything in the archives which I could even pretend was a Fountain.
Then Hey Presto, today we drove to the nearby seaside town of St Annes to see if there would be any donkey rides on the beach for my cousin’s 3-year old when they visit us on Monday. I couldn’t believe my luck when we parked on the promenade road right beside this fine example of a Victorian Fountain. I’ve seen it loads of times before, but never looking as nice as it did today (Well, there was water in it which was a first! and a blue sky behind it).

How dare you! (Did you sign your work in some mysterious way?)

Aye, the base of the fountain wasn’t red at all ! LOL

That’s a lovely fountain. Is this the St Anne’s that used to be called Lytham St Anne’s? We lived very close to there when I was aged 2-4, at a RAF base. I have very vague memories of the donkeys!

Thanks Georgie. Yes there’s a genteel little town called Lytham and a quite separate (and nice) town of St Annes. For “holiday resort ” purposes and local government admin both small towns are lumped together as Lytham St Annes. For locals, however, especially those in Lytham, they are definitely NOT one place.
