Miss Bell’s fountain was donated to the town in the late 19th century by local philanthropist Miss Eliza Bell and is located at the entrance to the town near The Butts.

Restoration works were completed during HM The Queen’s Jubilee Year and designated as Alton Town Council’s Golden Jubilee project.

The site, with its attractive seasonal flower displays and seats, sponsored by a local family and the Alton Lions Club provides a pleasant oasis next to a busy main road.

The fountain was originally one of a pair, with the other now located in the Public Gardens.
