Drinking trough and War Memorial
Drinking trough and War Memorial
The drinking trough is of a characteristic design of those supplied by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Water Trough Association, and like many is now used as a flower trough. It is grade II listed - see LinkExternal link.

The War Memorial (although in Biggin Hill, covering the whole of Cudham parish of which this was once part) dates from 1923 and is locally listed.
Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association

The Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association was founded in 1859 initially to provide clean drinking water in public places for people in London, but soon extended to include animals and also outside London itself. It is still active (now known as The Drinking Fountain Association), with the objectives of:

• The promotion of the provision of drinking water for people and animals in the United Kingdom and Overseas
• The preservation of the Association's archive materials, artefacts, drinking fountains, cattle troughs and other installations.
