THE festive period has been marked with a real splash of colour in one North Yorkshire community.
For the first time, the Victorian fountain at Masham has been given a truly seasonal look with the addition of green and white Christmas lights.
The move was made possible thanks to a £500 grant from North Yorkshire County Council, which paid for the installation of the electrical supply.
Now that the installation is complete, the fountain could end up being internally floodlit all-year round.
Chairman of the town's Christmas lights committee, Andrew Burrell, said: "We are rather hoping that can be the case and will be in discussion with the council about it when the festive period is over."
