Close up of the drinking trough in TR2035 : Entrance to Enbrook Park, situated at the entrance to Enbrook Park. The inscription reads "Gift of Lt Colonel Wheatley 1877".

Although probably not provided by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association, it is of a very similar design to many of theirs.
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.
