Fountains across Bristol are bone dry today (July 18) despite it being the middle of a heatwave that is scorching the city. Pictures from this afternoon show an empty Millennium Square, where the usually popular fountains are fenced off and not running.
There is also no water flowing down Cascade Steps, Victoria Rooms near Clifton and the fountains in the city centre. It is believed that many of the fountains in the city were switched off for the Harbour Festival, as music stages were set up on or nearby them.
Others, such as the fountains in the centre, have been switched off for a number of years.
