A 142-year-old fountain in an Aberdeen park has been turned back on, thanks to the fundraisin­g efforts of community groups and the city council’s Common Good Fund. The conservati­on-led work on the Category A-listed historic fountain in Victoria Park started last September and was completed recently. The £137,000 of work included delicate cleaning and repairing of the carved stonework and decorative copper elements using bristle brushes. www.aberdeenci­ty.gov.uk
