Taylor Well

A postcard of the Taylor Well in Woodside's Stewart Park. The photograph features two young women, one with a bicycle. There is also a man standing atop the well.

The ornate granite fountain installed in 1906. It is in memory of Jean Taylor who, in 1891, bequeathed £500 for the creation of a playpark in Woodside. The fountain was based on a cast held in the Art Gallery's collection and was sculpted by Arthur Taylor of Jute Street.

See the Aberdeen Daily Journal, 10th May 1906, page 7, for an account of its origin and completion.
