| Original location | Hampshire. Portsmouth, R.N. barracks |

| Comments | Near Royal Naval Barracks. Cost defrayed by RSPCA. Surely this must be the MDFCTA trough erected near the Navy Barracks in 1884, even though the MDFCTA records describe it as 6ft 6in, but without an inscription I can't be completely confident. |
