| Comments | Junction of Bristol & Gloucester Roads. Presented by the association. Stonehouse Band of Mercy gave donation of £22.10.0. This trough is one of a few that contain an "AND" rather than a "&" in the inscription. For a full list of troughs with an "AND rather than a "&" click here. The omission of the word "DRINKING" in the name "METROPOLITAN DRINKING FOUNTAIN AND CATTLE TROUGH ASSOCIATION" appears to be deliberate. |
