Smollett Fountain,

The Challenge

The Smollett Fountain, a cherished listed landmark dating back to the 1870s, stands at the heart of Alexandria at the junction of Main Street and Bank Street. As part of the Town Centre Masterplan, the fountain was to be carefully restored in 2024, with the goal of revitalising the area and reinstating the fountain as a central feature of the community. The challenge was to enhance the fountain’s presence after dark with a new lighting scheme, while respecting its historic character and ensuring all works were sympathetic to its listed status.

The Solution

GWL Electrical was entrusted with designing and installing a decorative lighting scheme that would highlight the fountain’s unique architectural features. The team worked with sensitivity and precision, selecting fixtures and lighting techniques that complemented the historic fabric of the site. Installation was carried out with great care to avoid any impact on the fountain’s structure, and all works were coordinated closely with the restoration team to ensure the lighting added a contemporary touch without detracting from the fountain’s heritage value.

The Result

The Smollett Fountain now stands as a beautifully illuminated centrepiece in Alexandria, drawing attention to its historic details and inviting residents and visitors to enjoy the space both day and night. The new lighting scheme has enhanced the fountain’s role as a focal point for the community, supporting the wider aims of the Town Centre Masterplan and contributing to the ongoing revitalisation of the area.
