Horse trough
Horse trough
Outside the Queens Head pub. Except for a date (1899) the writing is not legible even when viewed close up. However, it follows the design of a number of troughs in the area provided by the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association. See TQ3050 : The Queens Head for a wider view.
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.
