Water Maze, Victoria Park
This is a Chartres Maze that was built in 1984 to commemorate/recognise the need for fresh drinking water. It's was meant to have water flowing from a sluice at the centre all around the maze and out the other side. Apparently the Council maintained it for a couple of years, but then decided it was too expensive. Cynical me says that's because it's in an unfashionable part of South Bristol, and had it been built in Clifton, it would be merrily flowing away. But it's still a lovely structure, with intersting history - apparently underneath it there's a massive stormdrain, based on a 12th centuy waterpipe... More information about the maze here
