Recordist's notes
Young children like this small fountain. You can hear one protesting (briefly) as he is carried away from it. Once there were more elaborate toys - waterwheels, scopes etc - for playing with the water but they are no longer here. So they just climb on the low concrete and get thoroughly wet. There is a gurgling drain on one side.
