| Comments | I'm not sure if this is an MDFCTA trough. Does anyone know the history and provenance of this trough? Although I've tentatively allocated two other troughs in Portsmouth to MDFCTA structures this one does not fit with any trough in the MDFCTA records. There is some evidence that this trough was erected in 1902 and moved to its current position in 1907. One of many troughs that bears an RSPCA inscription. |
