TQ4174 : Cattle trough on Eltham Green Road
taken 15 years ago, near to Eltham, Greenwich, England

Cattle trough on Eltham Green Road
Somewhat incongruous on what is now a housing estate, this is one of many facilities provided a hundred years earlier by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association.
Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association (provided by Ian Capper)
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.
