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.

Raining hard, I'll press on

My family can never understand my willingness to stay out in the rain. If I have a window of opportunity, I'll take some photos. From Golders Green tube station, I headed along North End Road, up into Hampstead Heath Extension, through to the Old Toll House. From there it was into the delight that is Hampstead Garden Suburb, along Winnington Road, via Holne Chase and Kingsley Way to the crossroads; over into Ossulton way, east along Brim Hill and finishing at the footpath from Edmunds Way to East Finchley tube station.
