| Comments | Originally at the junction of Danson Road & Crook Log. The gift of Mr and Mrs JJ Bull cost £44.16.6. Removed and re-erected at Lodge Lane in 1924. The MDFCTA records are slightly confusing. Firstly, structure [1886] is described as a type 1c trough but this trough appears to be a type 1d with the fountain head missing. Secondly, according to some of the MDFCTA records structure [1886] was moved to a Riding School in 1973; according to other records in 1959 a trough was collected from the Bexley council depot to Mr. Hearne of O.M.Keevil Ltd, Builders, Burnham Road, Dartford. |
