The Fountain, Coatbridge, around 1904.

The fountain at the corner of Main Street and the modern South Circular Road was built in 1890 in dedication to Alexander Whitelaw, the then manager of Gartsherrie Ironworks. He paid for the reorganisation of Coatbridge Cross, raising the level of the railway above that of the Canal. The fountain has been moved about several times.
