The Fountain
The fountain logo for the Collective is based on the design of the Baillie James Martin drinking fountain at Glasgow Green.
The Collective founders’ great grandfather, Joseph Dunn adopted this logo as it was the fountain where he watered his horses between deliveries of his “aerated waters” for his soft drinks manufacturing business in Bridgeton. Details on the company are here.
The fountain was an important community gathering place and service to the local area. We believe today’s Collective is an extension of this idea and provides a space which supports the local community to thrive and grow.
By coincidence, the manufacturer of the fountain, Walter Macfarlane & Co started their business at Saracen Foundry on the site of the current Glasgow Collective.
