Unbeknown to many of us, the fountain that now sits all overgrown in Priory Park used to have pride of place in the grounds of St Paul's Cathedral.

The borough of Hornsey offered it a home in 1905 when it was being removed to make way for a religious statue.

The fountain is now being restored and brought back into working order with help from the Friends of Priory Park, the Council and corporate volunteers.

Here's how it looked a few years back.

The Friends are only able to find a single photo of the fountain in it's glory days in the park. Can you help put your finger on any others?
