CommentsI'm not sure if this is an MDFCTA trough. From the inscription it is almost certainly a Banbury trough. Does anyone know the history and provenance of this trough? Is this trough the MDFCTA structure that Mr. Watkinson arranged to be moved to a "neighbour" in Halesworth.
AcknowledgementsThanks to VG of the Halesworth and District Museum for bringing this trough to my attention.
