Hamnkanalen with the name Järnvågsplatsen (1753) after the iron weighing scale that had been located there since 1624. Work with these scales started in 1683 and was completed in 1690. The scales were transferred to Järntorget in 1785, and in the great fire in 1813, the rest of the scales burned down in Brunnsparken. Trees were planted on the site of the former scales in 1822, as a "promenade". In 1861, this part of Stora Hamnkanalen was filled in, south of the "island" that now forms Södra Hamngatan. In 1752, Niclas Jacobsson's sugar refinery (a "Såkerraffinaderiwärk") on Södra Hamngatan was completed, designed by architect Carl Hårleman. The sugar refinery was later owned by Pontus Fürstenberg. It was damaged in the fire on 2 March 1792, but remained in use up to 1841, when it was discontinued. Parts of its foundation remain under the Palacehuset hotel to this day. In April 1913, an underground pumping station was built near Brunnsparken. Johanna i Brunnsparken At the western end of Brunnsparken is a fountain with the statue Såningskvinnan (the sowing woman). The statue was unveiled on the day of Johanna on 21 July 1883, and is therefore popularly called Johanna. The statue was made by Per Hasselberg and cast in bronze by Gruet Jeunes in Paris, France, partially financed by Pontus Fürstenberg, who lived nearby. The gypsum original is located in the Gothenburg Museum of medicinal history. The administration building for the city railways was located at the site of the statue up until 1820. In 2015, statue was temporarily removed for maintenance and conservation. An archeological excavation was done at the site and one of the two iron balances that were used in Sweden during the 17th and 18th century was found. The balance in Gothenburg weighed all the iron manufactured in the Värmland part of Bergslagen during the 1800s. The balance was found below the present-day street level. There are two more statues in Brunnsparken. Two lions made of bronze lie at the staircase at Stora Hamnkanalen. They are made by Camilla Bergman in 1991. Between 1638–1673 there was a wooden bridge at Brunnsparken, having four standing lion statues. This bridge was called the "Lion bridge".
