Glasgow Garden Festival fountain found in pile of rubbish

It was one of the centrepieces of Glasgow's much loved garden festival almost 40 years ago.

Now the Children of Glasgow fountain from the popular 1988 event has been found – buried and seemingly forgotten under a heap of rubble and dirt on Glasgow City Council property.

The discovery has prompted calls for it to be restored to its former glory and given a prominent place in the city.

Many other artefacts from the five-month long festival are considered lost, while others were repurposed elsewhere, including as far afield as Wales.
