| Comments | The MDFCTA structure number is tentative because the trough is listed as 12ft long. Also the date of erection does not match the year of the inscription. The gift of Dr Prater. £80.0.0. Until 2009 this trough was hidden in the depths of the City University after being moved from its original location to make for building works. Other troughs and fountains were donated by Dr. Prater. |
