This image is exclusive to Alamy. The Ready Money drinking fountain on Broad Walk at Regents Park, London, England, UK. The fountain is a four-sided granite and marble gothic drinking fountain at the north end of the Broad Walk. Given to the park in 1869 by Sir Cowasjee Jehangir, a wealthy Parsee industrialist from Bombay, whose nickname was Ready Money. It was his thank-you for the protection he and fellow Parsees received from British rule in India. It is one of the largest drinking fountains in London and contains 10 tonnes of Sicilian marble and four tonnes of red Aberdeen granite. It was unveiled by Princess Mary of Teck, later Queen Mary after whom Queen Mary’s Gardens are named. Information from: www.royalparks.org.uk
